Intro :
I c ame here from the c ity a th ousand miles awa y.
I c ame just for a l ittle while you know I n ever meant to s tay.
I m eant to take my p leasure have a g ood time and be g one.
But I f ell in love with a l ady now I s ing a m ountain s ong.
I l istened to the m usic of the n ight wind in the p ines.
I've s een the quiet s plendor of a f ield of columb ine.
I s kied on crystal p athways to a m ountain peak so t all
and I w alked the mighty s ummits with the o ne who made it a ll.
And I f ell in love with a l ady 'cause I've s een her at her b est.
And I've w alked her wild and r ugged paths through her o pen wildern ess.
And now I n ever can bet ray her steal her r iches and be g one
'Cause when you f all in love with a l ady you gotta s ing a m ountain s ong.
Now p eople come from e verywhere to s ee what they can f ind.
And s ome take lots of p ictures and s ome just take their t ime.
But there are s ome who take her b eauty that c an't be bought or s old
And they t hink of only m oney while d estroying wealth u ntold.
But you f all in love with a l ady when you've s lept upon her b reast
and you've w alked her wild and r ugged paths through her o pen wildern ess
And you n ever can bet ray her steal her r iches and be g one.
'Cause when you f all in love with a l ady you gotta s ing a m ountain s ong.
