[00:00.00]The Mountain - Levon Helm
[00:16.40]I was born on this mountain
[00:19.39]
[00:20.16]A long long time ago
[00:24.96]
[00:25.52]Before they knocked down the timber
[00:29.27]And stripped mined all the coal
[00:33.40]
[00:34.97]When you rose up
[00:36.14]
[00:36.80]In the morning
[00:38.02]
[00:38.93]Before it was light
[00:43.55]
[00:44.11]To go down in that dark hole
[00:47.50]And come back up at night
[00:51.41]
[00:57.33]I was born
[00:58.66]On this mountain
[01:00.17]
[01:00.99]This mountain's my home
[01:05.79]
[01:06.77]She holds me and she keeps me
[01:10.00]From a worry and a woe
[01:14.76]
[01:15.73]Well they took
[01:16.51]
[01:17.09]Everything she gave
[01:19.58]She gave it now she's gone
[01:23.90]
[01:24.72]But I'll die on this mountain
[01:27.96]
[01:28.49]This mountain's my home
[01:31.83]
[01:53.02]I was young
[01:53.74]
[01:54.40]On this mountain
[01:56.45]But now I am old
[02:01.39]
[02:02.22]And I knew every holler
[02:05.31]
[02:05.86]Every cool swimmin' hole
[02:10.52]
[02:11.49]'Til a one night I lay down
[02:14.29]
[02:15.02]And I woke up to find
[02:20.00]
[02:20.74]That my childhood was over
[02:23.76]
[02:24.26]I went back down in the mine
[02:27.84]
[02:33.96]There's a hole in this mountain
[02:36.90]
[02:37.66]It's dark and it's deep
[02:42.52]
[02:43.34]And God only knows
[02:46.32]
[02:47.14]All the secrets that it keeps
[02:51.95]
[02:52.79]There's a chill in the air
[02:55.22]
[02:56.41]Only miners can feel
[03:01.07]
[03:01.99]There's ghosts in the tunnels
[03:05.08]
[03:05.68]That the company sealed
