Brave Mountaineers
Born in the country & i like that country smile
Of the little girls & boys, they remind me of a child
That i knew & 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 & 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 & kings
And i need to be there
When the world gets too heavy & the shadows cross my mind
Like brave mountaineers
We never were much bothered by time
Born in the country & i like that country way
Of the uncles & the cousins & 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 & the shadows cross my mind
Like brave mountaineers
We never were much bothered by time
