Gordon Lightfoot - Brave Mountaineers Lyrics
Born in the country and I like that country smileOf the little girls and boys, they remind me of a childThat I knew and a big harvest moonThat shon by suppertime in the dusty afternoonAnd I need to be thereWhen the autumn wind goes whistlin through the trestle we would climbLike brave mountaineersWe never were much bothered by timeBorn in the country and I like that country songWe played for just a nickel every time we got to townAnd I bought you a dime diamond ringIn the hayloft we would play, we were princesses and kingsAnd I need to be thereWhen the world gets too heavy and the shadows cross my mindLike brave mountaineersWe never were much bothered by timeBorn in the country and I like that country wayOf the uncles and the cousins and the card games they would playWhile the young ones slept overheadBeneath the quilts that mother made, when all the prayers were saidAnd I need to be thereWhen the autumn wind goes whistlin through the trestle we would climbLike brave mountaineersWe never were much bothered by timeAnd I need to be thereWhen the world gets too heavy and the shadows cross my mindLike brave mountaineersWe never were much bothered by time
