Kris Kristofferson - Stagger Mountain Tragedy Lyrics

Font:

Align:

I was born on stagger mountain in the sunshine and the snow

And leavin was the first mistake I made;

But I hungered for the shadows in the valley down below

And the girl that danced the tune the devil played.

Her smile was like the blindin light of sunshine on the snow

And the flashin of her hair was black as sin.

And her body set the smokes of hell a-boilin in my skull

When the fiddle of the devil made her spin.

Morning sunshine [sunshine] high on the mountain,

Where the air is pure and cold;

But theres darkness in the shadows

In the canyons of my soul.

The lantern cast a shadow like a demon on the wall

And the ***** sweat was breathin on her skin;

Then the room was spinning closer as her clothes began to fall

And the eagle started screamin in my brain;

Then I saw the laughin dagger and I heard the devil scream

And her bleeding heart was beating in my hand.

Then the darkness blew away and I was standin by a tree

With a hanging rope a-danglin from a limb.

Morning sunshine [sunshine] high on the mountain,

Where the air is pure and cold;

But theres darkness in the shadows

In the canyons of my soul.
