My Proud Mountains
Townes Van Zandt
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
My home is Colorado With their proud mountains tall Where the rivers like gypsys Down her black canyons fall I'm a long, long way from Denver With a long way to go So lend an ear to my singing 'Cause I'll be back no more I left as a young man Not full seventeen With nothin' for company But the wind and a dream 'Bout all the fast ladies And livin' I'd find When I left my proud mountains And rivers behind So I rolled and a-rambled Like a leaf in the wind Well, I found my fast ladies And some hard livin' men Well, I sometimes went hungry With my pockets all bare Lord, I sometimes had good luck With money to spare I made me some friends, Lord, That I won't soon forget Some are down under And some are rambling yet But as for me I'm headed for home Back to high Colorado Never more for to roam So friends, when my time comes As surely it will You just carry my body Out to some lonesome hill And lay me down easy Where the cool rivers run With only my mountains 'Tween me and the sun My home is Colorado
