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



Well 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 Heartbreak Mountain...

[ ac.guitar ]

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

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

Well I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain...

[ harmonica ]

Now why does a girl let a fella turn her into a hollow shelf

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

Well I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain...

Well I've lost my will to live
