Blue Mountain

Lyrics

Blue mountain you're azure deep
Blue mountain your sides are steep
Blue mountain with a horsehead on your side
You've stolen my love to keep
You've stolen my love to keep

Well I was born in a manger in Texas
All the penthouse and paints come around
My days there were troubled and restless
All the bad news that I looked for I found
Well my welcome wore thin down in Texas
For reasons you probably know
So I roped and I broke and I rambled to
Where the sage and the piñon grow

Blue mountain you're azure deep
Blue mountain your sides are steep
Blue mountain with a horsehead on your side
You've stolen my love to keep
You've stolen my love to keep

And now I chum with old Latigo Gordon
I drink at the Blue Goose Saloon
And I dance all night with the Mormon girls
Ride home my way lit by the moon
And oh here is the snake and the rainbow
And here is the balsam and the bough
And here are the ladders of light up to heaven
But blue mountain is all I need now

Blue mountain you're azure deep
Blue mountain your sides are steep
Blue mountain with a horsehead on your side
You've stolen my love to keep
You've stolen my love to keep

Oh what kind of cut purse is the evening
To scatter her diamonds behind
We're all given a first and a last love
And blue mountain will be both mine

Blue mountain you're azure deep
Blue mountain your sides are steep
Blue mountain with a horsehead on your side
You've stolen my love to keep
You've stolen my love to keep

Blue mountain you're azure deep
Blue mountain your sides are steep
Blue mountain with a horsehead on your side
You've stolen my love to keep
You've stolen my love to keep
