Lyrics

As I looked at the valleys down below They were green just as far as I could see As my memory returned oh how my heart did yearn For you and the day that used to be
High on a mountain top wind blowing free Wondering about the days that used to be High on a mountain top standing all alone Wondering where the years of my life have flown
Oh I wonder if you ever think of me Or if time has blotted out your memory As I listen to the breeze blow gently through the trees I'll always cherish what you meant to me

About This Song

High on a Mountain is a classic Ira and Charlie Louvin gospel song from 1955, later popularized in bluegrass by the Del McCoury Band. Its lonesome, high-harmony style and spiritual themes make it a jam session favorite.
