Mountain Girl

Living in the age of the great uncertain man
Where computers are the brains and we all just lend a hand
I headed up to Wharncliffe with my obsolescent heart
My brother correctronix and my banjo slash guitar

I've been looking for a love like a phone stuck to a wall
Where she wraps the spiral cord around her finger while we talk
And laughs at me while I shiver, when we're naked in the river
Takes me home and makes me dinner
Leaves me baptized by it all

I want a mountain girl
Beautiful and plain
I wanna take her hand
Give it a golden ring
I wanna die up on a hill
Come on Lord let's make a deal
I want a mountain girl to love me

Well, I bet that it was raining on the day that she was born
And the blue skies went a'hiding in her eyes to pass the storm
I know she's up here somewhere just as lonesome as can be

And she's watering her garden and a'waiting just for me

I want a mountain girl
Beautiful and plain
I wanna take her hand
Give it a golden ring
I wanna die up on a hill
Come on Lord let's make a deal
I want a mountain girl to love me
I want a mountain girl to love me
I want a mountain girl to love me
