lirik lagu dennis robbins – the mountain man and me
[verse 1]
he lived up on the mountain in a rundown country shack
they’d say “don’t go around him, you might never make it back”
as a boy i’d lie awake in my bed at the orphan home
and i could hear the old man play guitar, the gospel blues he moaned
the sound of the music would take me away
i knew i’d meet that mountain man someday, someday
[verse 2]
one night after supper, that old feeling got the best of me
i heard that sound and i gave in to my curiosity
i climbed up on the mountain and there on the porch he sat
with a mason jar beneath his feet and a guitar on his lap
thе sound of the music took me away
i knew i’d meet that mountain man somеday
[chorus]
tall as an oak tree covered with age
the mountain was his audience, the front porch was his stage
and he sang “rock of ages and precious memories
son, there’s a better place for you and me”
[verse 3]
we talked and talked for hours, he told me about his life
he spoke and cried of a beautiful girl that once had been his wife
he said she died while giving birth to a child he’d never see
the townsfolk said he couldn’t raise a boy, they claimed he was crazy as me
the county took his son away
he’s lived up on the mountain since that day, yeah
[instrumental break]
[verse 4]
later in the evening, he held me to his side
he said he hoped he had a boy like me then he closed his eyes and died
in his hand he held a picture and my face had turned blood red
when i realized it was just the same as the one above my bed
the good lord took my daddy away
but i know we’ll be walking hand in hand someday
[chorus]
[outro]
there’s a better place for the mountain man and me
