[G]Every day is a [C]gamble, if you're [G]even gonna make it [F]through
When you [G]live on the side of the [C]mountain, and the [G]babies [D]all need [G]food
I was the [G]youngest one among [C]us, I got [G]sick and would not [F]eat
[G]Daddy prayed accept his [C]fate, but [G]Momma [D]would not [G]heed
[C]Carry me across the [G]mountain, before it is too [F]late
[C]Heal my broken my [G]body, [D]death not be my [G]fate
[C]Carry me across the [G]mountain, don't give up on [F]me
[C]I am but a [G]helpless child, whose [D]life depends on [G]thee
Instrumental: G | C | G | F | G | C | G | D | G
[G]Daddy warned against [C]it, said you [G]may not make it [F]through
[G]Momma wrapped me in her [C]arms, crying '[G]what else [D]can I [G]do?'
There is a [G]place across the mountain [C]top, a[G]cross the mountain [F]side
They [G]say there is a [C]doctor there, might [G]save our [D]baby's [G]life
[C]Carry me across the [G]mountain, before it is too [F]late

Now I [G]stand upon the mountain [C]top, be[G]fore my mother's [F]grave
And [G]every year I visit [C]here, to [G]thank her [D]for that [G]day
(End tacit)
