From the recording The Voice Of These Mountains
Lyrics
Mountain Girl
Roy Hurd
She’s a mountain girl body swayin
To the music playin on the summer wind
Watch her whirl barefoot dancing
In meadow flowers where the creek rolls in
Fiddle moans low and lonesome
Feel it pull them ole heart strings
Sun goes down moon is rising
She’s harmonizing as the whippoorwill sings
Chorus:
Sometimes she’ll dance to chase
away her sorrow
Sometimes she’ll dance to celebrate
her love
With all her heart just like there’s no
tomorrow
She’ll fill your nights with dreams of
making love
To/With a mountain girl
That mountain girl burns like summer
Warms the winter like the kiss of spring
When she moves it’s just like prayin
Intoxicating it’s a beautiful thing
I would give heart and soul
Just to know her secret charms
I would walk the darkest mile
Just to hold her in my arms
Sometimes she’ll dance to chase
away her sorrow
Sometimes she’ll dance to celebrate
her love
With all her heart just like there’s no
tomorrow
She’ll fill your nights with dreams of
making love
Sometimes she’ll dance to chase
away her sorrow
Sometimes she’ll dance to celebrate
her love
With all her heart just like there’s no
tomorrow
She’ll fill your nights with dreams of
making love
To/With a mountain girl
Mountain Girl:
Mountain women are strong, resilient and simply, but powerfully beautiful. Tough on the outside, but most of them have great big beautiful hearts.
