Mountain Folk

 

I road for 8 hours up through the mountain curves

To find a small town as, and through it ran a river

The bells were singing all day long

People blessing to their song

In this land of pure delight

All is loud and bright

I met a family so sweet

They were so kind to me

You know they offered me some tea

At night a place to sleep

We didn't really talk

We just smiled a lot, we walked

In the high pine forest trees

And the strawberries

Mountain folk

Up the hills you go

Mountain folk

With you my heart does flow

Three pretty girls and me

And all of your babies

We walked a long time to the trees

Then you climbed like crazy

Climbing higher up you go

Singing sweet songs like you know

And the strength in you I see

I hope to have in me

Mountain girls

Up there in the trees

Mountain girl

You climb with such ease

And when you come down

You pack the branches on your back

Carry them for miles and miles

With a small kid sat on top

She's a girl of 17

And she had a sweet baby

Always smiled and laugh with me

Like a wise old lady

Mountain girls

Up the trees you go

Mountain girl

With you my heart does flow

I am amazed by your actions, your mind is in the now

Girls and boys are working hard and our senses open wide

I can see it in your eyes, true wisdom no disguise

And forever you will be, so sweet to me

Mountain folk

Up the hills you go

Mountain folk

With you my heart does flow

With you my heart does flow

Yeh yeh yeh

My heart does flow

Where you go

My heart does flow
