Holly Near — Mountain Song lyrics

Lyrics

I have dreamed on this mountain
Since first I was my mother’s daughter
And you can’t just take my dreams away ­- not with me watching
You may drive a big machine
But I was born a great big woman
And you can’t just take my dreams away ­- not with me fighting
This old mountain raised my many daughters
Some died young — some are still living
But if you come here to take our mountain
Well we ain’t come here to give it I have dreamed on this mountain
Since first I was my mother’s daughter
And you can’t just take my dreams away ­- not with me watching
No you can’t just take my dreams away ­- without me fighting
No you can’t just take my dreams away
