Rocky Mountain Blues

Elkie Brooks


I cried last night
I cried all the night before
I cried last
I cried all the night before
I cried my eyes this morning
And I ain't gonna cry no more

I will climb this mountain
If it's the last thing I do
I will climb this mountain
If it's the last thing I do
And when I've climbed this rocky mountain
There'll be no more crying over you

You said you'd be my lover
You promised to be true
I took for my lover
You broke my heart in two
You broke your promise
Each kiss you gave me was a lie
But I'll climb this rocky mountain
If I don't I'll hope to die

Someday you'll be sad and lonely
And you'll want to come to me
Yeah, someday you'll be sad and lonely
And you'll want to come to me
I'll be high on this mountain
Gazing 'cross the deep blue sea

Oh mountain, yeah, you rock me all the way
Oh mountain, you rock me all the way
But if I never, nothing happens
I'll reach the top some sunny day
