Sugar Mountain Lyrics

Do you go down on the side of Sugar Mountain
When leaves are brown,
And the sunlight splits the sky?
I have found that the sea breeze tears at the ocean,
And I hope somebody will love me 'fore I die.
Oh, willow, weep no more, my lady,
Though the days are long and lazy,
And the sun sits heavy on the sky.
Weep no more, I'm homeward bound.
I'm gonna tear this mountain down.
You're gonna be somebody, by and by.

Sugar Mountain trees are made of candy,
And the sun drips honey in your eyes.
Every fountain's water tastes like brandy,
And I know somebody will love me 'fore I die.
Oh, willow, weep no more, my lady,
Though the days are long and lazy,
And the sun sits heavy on the sky.
Weep no more, I'm homeward bound.
I'm gonna tear this mountain down.
You're gonna be somebody, by and by.

Sugar Mountain lovers taste like honey,
And their lips like Elderberry wine.
Every other stranger pales and withers,
And I hope somebody will love me 'fore I die.
Oh, willow, weep no more, my lady,
Though the days are long and lazy,
And the sun sits heavy on the sky.
Weep no more, I'm a-homeward bound.
I'm gonna tear this mountain down.
You're gonna be somebody, by and by.
Weep no more, I'm a-homeward bound.
I'm gonna tear this mountain down.
You're gonna be somebody, by and by.

Instrumental featuring country fiddle to end.
