2. Cold Mountains
Cold mountains here are all around me;
Cold waters gliding down the stream;
Oft in my sleep I think I find her,
But when I wake its all a dream
When I awoke and did not find her
All on my bed I wept and mourned;
Tears from my eyes fall without number
All because I’m left alone.
Hills and mountains all dressed a mourning,
The lofty tree’s bown down to me,
Birds of the air are well adourning;
Come help me mourn, she’s fled from me.
The wild beast hear my limintation,
The lonesome Desert hear my mourn
Yea heathern nations without number
Oh weep my bosom friend friend is gone;
When will my mourning days be over;
Yes all my mourning days be gone;
I can’t stay here, I’m not befriended
I to some foreign land must roam.
Farewell my Dear I hate to leave you;
I hate the time that we must part
Altho I love you with out measure
Here is my hand you’ve got my heart.
