Lyrics Jet-Sons - When The Mountains Cry

Am
A lilac comes on a poisoned thorn
F Am
It has roots dirty and torn
F Am
Young-uns a playin' as the black crow flies
G
Mama's weeping
Am
Hear the mountains cry.
Am
There was another, a wild dirt flower
F Am
Cold was her heart and as dark as dire
F Am
Tears on the ground where her love did die
G
'Neath the bloody moon
Am
Hear the mountains cry.
(Fiddle break)
Am
Oh dig his grave narrow and deep
F Am
Set a jug of whiskey by his thirsty feet
F Am
And lay two pennies on his roving eyes
G
Two women wailing
Am
As the mountains cry.
F Am
Oh the wind blows weary and the willows sigh
G Am
Rivers of sorrow when the mountains cry. (x2)
