She Came From The Mountains

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>She came from the mountains Rocky Mountains eagle-high<br/>She&#x27;s from where the mountains lean up to the sky<br/>Now she&#x27;s back among the Rockies where mountain thunders cry<br/>Now the wind from off the mountains wails a sad goodbye<br/>Once in Colorado Springs at the foot of old Pike&#x27;s Peak<br/>I met a Rocky Mountain girl to my soul her heart let speak<br/>We went to tell her parents and an old grandmother said<br/>If you&#x27;ll leave these mountains girl you&#x27;ll wish that you were dead<br/>The next day I took her with me to my far-off Iowa home<br/>Way out on the flatlands where the mountain winds don&#x27;t moan<br/>Each footstep we took was happy or at least it shoudn&#x27;t been<br/>But I would find her listening for that same lone mountain wind<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>She came from the mountains<br/>[Verse 2]<br/>Months passed as fast as antelopes until one fatal dismal dawn<br/>I walked to see morning sun shine down on where she was gone<br/>I&#x27;d known that lately she&#x27;d been sad women sometimes get that way<br/>I hadn&#x27;t guessed how much was wrong until that fatal day<br/>She had left the weeping letter homesick with mountain names<br/>She was somewhere in the Rockies and I knew I&#x27;d been to blame<br/>So now in Colorado Springs I wait near old Pike&#x27;s Peak<br/>Where once I met a mountain girl that mountain girl I seek<br/><br/>[Chorus]
