Verse 1:
A mother went up to the mountain, she said it was for gold
but all these drums and Indians, oh no
said buddy was a good boy, but just not for me
come on now, pack your bags, time to leave
Rhythm igure 2
Verse 2:
but Mom, are you dead?
are you free from this life you've
left for such red faced man, oh ma
oh please don't leave
Rhythm igure 1
Verse 3:
back to the city in high heels, gold rings upon her hands
get up son, it's time to run, jump and land
in a wagon with no wheels and no place to go
she just smiles and nods her head, ?oh welcome home?
Rhythm igure 2
Verse 4:
but oh those mines, can't you see,
were just much too deep for your
sins, though you buried them beneath the
mountaintops

Bridge:
where you going with your coonskin boots?
well I just want to be with you
I know you never said that you would stay
forever and it's getting late
well I don't want to be a broken boy
so sad, alone, and oh so coy
why'd you got to be so god damn cruel?
well I just want to be with you
but do you...?
A mother went back to the mountain
she said it was for love
but all those mountain men are buried
with their lust and her gold rings
