Up there on Silver Mountain
That's where I'll wait for you
Up there on Silver Mountain
Up where the sky is blue
Your books I used to carry
When we were back at school
Now you're the girl I wanna marry
I won't rest until I do
Will you meet me by the river
Where the current runs dark and strong?
I know your daddy's waitin'
So I'm comin' with my guns on
Up there on Silver Mountain
Where the folks are easy to laugh
Up there on Silver Mountain
As long as you don't cross their path
Will you meet me at the river?
I'll take you for my bride
Tell your daddy that I'm comin'
I ain't leavin' 'til I'm satisfied
Up where the Silver River rushes
Over the roots of that big oak tree
On the banks at the end of the river
We stood here, your dad and me
Hello John, I'm leavin' here with her
It's a good day as any to die
My blood mixed with the clay of the river
I saw your face against the sky
Goodbye my sweet love, goodbye
