You Gave Me A Mountain
(Marty Robbins / Arr.: Ko-Do 2019)

Karaoke Version 2019


Akustik Version 2019


Born in the heat of the desert
My mother died givin' me life
Deprived of the love of a father
Blamed for the loss of his wife

You know Lord I've been in a prison
For something that I've never done
It's been one hill after another
And I've climbed them all one by one

But this time Lord, you gave me a mountain
A mountain that I may never climb
It isn't just a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time

My woman got tired of the hardships
Tired of the grief and the strife
So tired of working for nothing
Just tired of being my wife

She took my one ray of sunshine
She took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for livin'
She took my small baby boy

But this time Lord, you gave me a mountain
A mountain that I may never climb
It isn't just a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
