lyrics

I'm going up on the mountain
Don't know when I'll be back
All my old friends and lovers
They welcome me back
They welcome me back

And some say the New River
Is as old as the Nile
Like that name they give her,
I hope to stay young awhile
Through the last brackish mile

Going up on the mountain
O'er the valleys and hills
Reaching out for new beauty
In the palms of old thrills
As it drains from the hills

Going up on the mountain
No, I ain't coming back
Leaving old cares behind me
Like a ramshackle shack
On a hill gray and black
