lyrics

Up on the mountain where the honeysuckle grows
Up on the mountain the world below
Is laid out plain for me to see
Like a board of Monopoly
I’m goin’ down
I’m gonna make my mark
End to end we go like a domino

Up on the mountain is where I’m from
But I don’t miss it now I’m gone
Where the rain makes dough of an old dirt road
Like a milky cup of coffee down it flows
Off the mountain
Off the mountain
End to end we go like a domino

Up on the mountain my papa’s so mean
They say his name like a blasphemy
I was relieved when the revenuers took him down
Off the mountain for the still they found
On the mountain
Up on the mountain
End to end we go like a domino

I came down the mountain
To marry my wife
And we’re gonna make us a life
It may be long it may be brief
But my mountain is gonna stay in relief
As we go
As we go
End to end we go like a domino

Up on the mountain I can’t tell no one
I had a dream that I had a son
I didn’t live to see him grow
But he’d return one day to go
Up the mountain
Up on the mountain
Son to daddy
Daddy to son like a domino

Up on the mountain my boy will come
To see where I ran and where I aimed my gun
Where I made my bed from the leaves of a tree
My boy is gonna be a second chance of me
On the mountain
Up on the mountain
Son to daddy
Daddy to son
Like a domino

End to end we go like a domino
