Old Mountain Music
Marie Herbaut
Old mountain music
Old world stories
Grandma told me
Mommy sang to me
Now grandma's gone
Her stories too
Her children sold the house
But I'll do remember us all around
The kitchen table eating pie
Old mountain music
Old world stories
Will be told to my daughter and to her daughters after
Ouhouhouhouh
Now many women have come and gone
Melodies and circle songs
Were often sung to the breeze
In these green mountains of ours
Ouhouhouhouh
Old mountain music
Old world stories
The last bird on earth will sing
An eternal song to the wind
And we'll hear humming from miles away
New voices around a new table
Chanting
Their Old mountain music
Ouhouhouhouh
