brave mountaineers

Lyrics

born in the country and i like that country smile, of the little girls and boys, they remind me of a child, that i knew and a big harvest moon, that shon' by suppertime in the dusty afternoon, and i need to be there, when the autumn wind goes whistlin' through the trestle we would climb, like brave mountaineers, we never were much bothered by time, born in the country and i like that country song, we played for just a nickel every time we got to town, and i bought you a dime diamond ring, in the hayloft we would play, we were princesses and kings, and i need to be there, when the world gets too heavy and the shadows cross my mind, like brave mountaineers, we never were much bothered by time, born in the country and i like that country way, of the uncles and the cousins and the card games they would play, while the young ones slept overhead, beneath the quilts that mother made, when all the prayers were said, and i need to be there, when the autumn wind goes whistlin' through the trestle we would climb, like brave mountaineers, we never were much bothered by time, and i need to be there, when the world gets too heavy and the shadows cross my mind, like brave mountaineers, we never were much bothered by time
