Big mountain, wide river, 

there's an ancient call, 

these tree trunks these stream beds, 

leave our bellies full

they sing out, I am gonna stand my ground

you rise to me and I'll blow you down

I am gonna stand my ground

you rise to me and I'll blow you down



Hey Henry, can you hear me, 

let me see those eyes 

this distance, between us

can seem a mountain size

but boy, you are gonna stand your ground

they rise to you you'll blow them down 

let me see you stand your ground

they rise to you you'll blow them down

 

My darling, my sweetheart, 

I am in your sway, 

two cold climbs, come spring time

so let me hear you say, my love

I am gonna stand my ground, they rise to me and I'll blow them down

I am gonna stand my ground, they rise to me and I'll blow them down

cause I am gonna stand my ground you rise to me and I'll blow you down
