You gave me a mountain

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.
