My mother died givin' me life
Deprived of the love of a father
Blamed for the loss of his wife
You know Lord I've been in a prison
For something that I've never done
It's been one hill after another
And I've climbed them all one by one
Oh but this time Lord you gave me a mountain,
A mountain you know I may never climb
It isn't just a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
My woman got tired of the heartaches
Tired of the grief and the strife,
So tired of working for nothing
Just tired of being my wife
She took my one ray of sunshine
She took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for living
She took my small baby boy
Yeah but this time Lord you gave me a mountain,
A mountain I may never climb
It isn't a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
Yeah Lord, You gave me a mountain
Don't you know
You gave me a mountain this time
Born in the heat of the desert My mother died givin' me life Deprived of the love of a father Blamed for the loss of his wife You know Lord I've been in a prison For something that I've never done It's been one hill after another And I've climbed them all one by one Oh but this time Lord you gave me a mountain, A mountain you know I may never climb It isn't just a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time My woman got tired of the heartaches Tired of the grief and the strife, So tired of working for nothing Just tired of being my wife She took my one ray of sunshine She took my pride and my joy She took my reason for living She took my small baby boy Yeah but this time Lord you gave me a mountain, A mountain I may never climb It isn't a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time Yeah Lord, You gave me a mountain Don't you know You gave me a mountain this time Explain Request ×
