You gave me a mountain
Elvis Presley
You Gave Me A Mountain INTRO Born in the heat of the desert My mother died givin’ me life; Deprived of the love 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 But I’ve climbed them all one by one. But this time Lord You gave me a Mountain A Mountain I may never climb; And it isn’t 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 workin’ for nothin’ Tired of bein’ my wife She took my one ray of sun-shine She took my pride and my joy; She took my reason for living She took my small baby boy. Chorus So this time Lord you gave me a Mountain A Mountain I may never climb; And it isn’t a hill any longer You gave me a Mountain this time.
