Cheaha Mountain Lyrics
Well, I was born on Cheaha Mountain
On a cold November day
Out past the creek where the land's so steep
And the snakes and the bobcats stay
Where the snakes and the bobcats stay.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e108889-johnathan_east~cheaha_mountain_lyrics.html ]
Now my daddy made corn liquor
And the town folk knew him well
For the six-gun that he carried
And the whiskey he would sell
Oh, the whiskey he would sell.
(Chorus)
And, Lord I love those rocky hills
That's the only life I know
You can look straight down on the quiet town
And the city lights below
Lawd, the city lights below.
Now, when, I die you can lay me down
On the land where I come from
And won't you say a prayer as you leave me there
Beneath that setting sun
Now, beneath that setting sun.
Well, I was born on Cheaha Mountain
On a cold November day
Out past the creek where the land's so steep
And the snakes and the bobcats stay
Where the snakes and the bobcats stay.
(Repeat Chorus)
