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