You Gave Me A Mountain (Single Version)

You Gave Me A Mountain (Album Version) - Marty Robbins (馬丁·羅賓遜)

Written by：M. Robbins

Born in the heat of the desert

My mother died giving me life

Despised and disliked by my father

Blamed for the loss of his wife

You know Lord I've been on a prison

For something that I'd never done

It's been one hill after another

And I've climbed them lord one by one

But this time you gave me a mountain

A mountain I may never climb

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

Tired of working for nothing

Tired of being my wife

She took my one ray of sunshine

She took my pride and my joy

She took my reason for living

She took my small baby boy

And this time you gave me a mountain

A mountain I may never climb

It isn't a hill any longer

You gave me a mountain this time
