lyrics

IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOUNTAIN

The valley’s green in the shadow of the mountain,
the valley’s where I’m gonna go
I’ll lay me down, sink into the tall grass,
let the earth cover up my bones

I’ve walked for miles to sleep among the clover,
so many years, so many days
I’m gonna rest my weary soul here,
let the world hold me for a change

The sun is going down on me now, shining on to a new day
I’m gonna stay here, in the valley, and let this world be on its way

This life goes on when happiness is over,
the joy of youth, it flies away
And when they my lonely tombstone
my memory will soon start to fade

The valley’s green in the shadow of the mountain,
the valley’s where I’ll call my home
I’ll lay me down, sink into the tall grass,
let the earth cover up my bones

The sun is going down on me now, shining on to a new day
I’m gonna stay here, in the valley, and let this world be on its way

Oh, my mountain… Oh, my Jesus
Oh, my mountain…Oh, my Jesus
