Cold Mountain

Lyrics for Cold Mountain

Cold mountains they're here around me Cold waters rolling down the stream Oft in my sleep I think I see you But when I wake it's just a dream I've often thought, I've often wondered What makes young women love young men They're like the stars on a summer morning First they appear and then they're gone I'd rather be in some God holler Where the sun don't ever shine Than to see you with another And know you never would be mine I've wandered down your lonesome highways I've chased the stars most of my days I'm going back to East Virginia The place where I was born and raised Cold mountains they are here around me Cold waters rolling down the stream Oft in my sleep I think I see you But when I wake it's just a dream
