Janis Ian - Sugar Mountain Lyrics
Do you go down On the side of Sugar Mountain? When leaves are brown And the sunlight splits the sky I have found that The sea breeze tears at the ocean And I hope somebody Will love me 'fore I die Oh willow, weep no more my lady Though the days are long and lazy And the sun sets heavy on the sky Weep no more, I'm homeward bound I'm gonna tear this mountain down You're gonna be somebody bye and bye Sugar Mountain trees are made of candy And the sun drips honey in your eyes Every fountain's water tastes like brandy And I know somebody Will love me 'fore I die Oh willow, weep no more my lady Though the days are long and lazy And the sun sets heavy on the sky Weep no more, I'm homeward bound I'm gonna tear this mountain down You're gonna be somebody bye and bye Sugar Mountain lovers taste like honey And their lips like elderberry wine Every other stranger pales and withers And I hope somebody Will love me 'fore I die Oh willow, weep no more my lady Though the days are long and lazy And the sun sets heavy on the sky Weep no more, I'm homeward bound I'm gonna tear this mountain down You're gonna be somebody bye and bye
