Ralph Stanley Great High Mountain
Once I stood at the foot Of a great high mountain That I wanted so much to climb and on top of this mountain was a beautiful fountain That flowed with the waters of Life. I fell down on my knees At the foot of this mountain I cried, Oh Lord, what must I do I want to climb on this mountain I want to drink from this fountain thats flowing so clear to my view. When I heard a sweet voice From the top of this mountain Saying, Child put your hands in mine Start climbing slowly, watch yourself at the edges and take one step at a time. I started climbing upwards takin one step at a time the higher I got the harder I climbed I'm still climbing upwards and my journey almost empty I'm nearin' the top and all can see the view Oh, the water flows so freely There's enough to make you free So friend if you're thirsty Climb this mountain with me "No copyright is claimed and to the extent that material may appear to be infringed, I assert that such alleged infringement is permissible under fair use principles in U.S. copyright laws.
