Elvis Presley - You Gave Me A Mountain Lyrics
(words & music by marty robbins)Born in the heat of the desertMy mother died giving me lifeDeprived of the love of a fatherBlamed for the loss of his wifeYou know lord Ive been in a prisonFor something that I never doneIts been one hill after anotherIve climbed them all one by oneBut this time, lord you gave me a mountainA mountain you know I may never climbIt isnt just a hill any longerYou gave me a mountain this timeMy woman got tired of heartachesTired of the grief and the strifeSo tired of working for nothingJust tired of being my wifeShe took my one ray of sunshineShe took my pride and my joyShe took my reason for livingShe took my small baby boyBut this time, lord you gave me a mountainA mountain you know I may never climbIt isnt just a hill any longerYou gave me a mountain this time
