Marty Robbins - Over high mountain songtekst
Je score:
Over high mountains not too far away Is a valley I'm longin' to see There lives a maiden who wants be mine But her family cares nothin' for me Her Mother knows that her daughter found love In the arms of a poor mountain man Her Father tells her, have nothin' to do With the boy from the high mountain clan Those in the valley have castles and wealth Does that make them better than I My dreams are my wealth and I've plenty of them And my castles reach up to the sky 'Cause I am poor have I no right to love Even though I am loved in return True love can never be measured in riches And money cannot make it burn Her wealthy Father believes that a man Should be judged on the ground that he owns Since I have only the price of an acre He wants me to leave her alone But I'm determined, I'm young and I'm strong It's true love that I'm workin' for I'll buy me an acre down there in the valley And soon have a hundred or more Nola and I will be married and Heaven Will bless with a boy and a girl And we'll teach them true love can never be measured By riches they've gained in this world
