Marty Robbins - Over High Mountain Lyrics
Over high mountains not too far awayIs a valley I'm longin' to seeThere lives a maiden who wants be mineBut her family cares nothin' for meHer Mother knows that her daughter found loveIn the arms of a poor mountain manHer Father tells her, have nothin' to doWith the boy from the high mountain clanThose in the valley have castles and wealthDoes that make them better than IMy dreams are my wealth and I've plenty of themAnd my castles reach up to the sky'Cause I am poor have I no right to loveEven though I am loved in returnTrue love can never be measured in richesAnd money cannot make it burnHer wealthy Father believes that a manShould be judged on the ground that he ownsSince I have only the price of an acreHe wants me to leave her aloneBut I'm determined, I'm young and I'm strongIt's true love that I'm workin' forI'll buy me an acre down there in the valleyAnd soon have a hundred or moreNola and I will be married and HeavenWill bless with a boy and a girlAnd we'll teach them true love can never be measuredBy riches they've gained in this world
