MOUNTAIN HIGH, FEELING LOW
By: Tom T. Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: HIGH ON THE MOUNTAIN, FEELING MIGHTY LOW
WAY OVER YONDER HEARD A TRAIN WHISTLE BLOW
WISH I WAS ON IT IN A FIRST CLASS CAR
A SMILE ON MY FACE AND THAT GIRL ON MY ARM

CHORUS: MOUNTAIN HIGH (MOUNTAIN HIGH)
FEELING LOW (FEELING LOW)
SHE SAID SHE WAS LEAVING SO I LET HER GO
ON A ONE WAY TRACK WITH JUST THE CLOTHES ON HER BACK
MOUNTAIN HIGH (MOUNTAIN HIGH)
FEELING LOW

VERSE 2: SHE'S GONE WITH THE SOUND OF THAT TRAIN HEADING NORTH
LEFT ME HERE ROCKING ON THIS BUSTED DOWN PORCH
LEFT ME WITH NOTHING BUT MY FIDDLE AND MY BOW
HOW SHE COULD DO THAT I NEVER WILL KNOW

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: SHE PROMISED TO LOVE ME IN SICKNESS AND HEALTH
SHE COULDN'T TELL ME THE WAY THAT SHE FELT
NOW SHE'S ON THE TRAIN AND WE'RE FARTHER APART
AND I'M SITTING HERE ROCKING WITH AN EMPTY OLD HEART

REPEAT CHORUS
