The Mountains Cry

"A lilac comes on a poisoned thorn
It has roots
Dirty and torn
Young-uns a playin'
As the black crow flies
Mama's weeping
Hear the mountains cry.
There was another
A wild dirt flower
Cold was her heart
And as dark as dire
Tears on the ground
Where her love did die
'Neath the bloody moon
Hear the mountains cry.
Oh dig his grave
Narrow and deep
Set a jug of whiskey
By his thirsty feet
And lay two pennies
On his roving eyes
Two women wailing
As the mountains cry.
Oh the wind blows weary
And the willows sigh
Rivers of sorrow
When the mountains cry"
