Well I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain yeah I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Hill

I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain cause I've lost my will to live



It was six o'clock yesterday mornin' when my sweet baby packed up to leave

It was six o'clock yesterday mornin' and I ain't done nothin' but grieve

Well I'm goin' up on...

[ banjo ]

Well I cried and I begged and I pleaded for my sweet baby not to go

Like the leaf that's caught in a whirl wind where she's gone now I'll never know

Well I'm goin' up on...

[ organ ]

Now why does a man let a woman turn him into a hollow shelf

And walk up and leave him behind her like a ship at sea with no sail

Well I'm goin' up on...
