Stone Mountain
(c) April 2006, Rebecca Dale Peaden (BMI)/Marchetti (BMI) - Demo
It didn't take her long...
to figure out
He married and brought her to the woods
To care for his sick mom so he could run about
And he only came home...
Once in awhile
Each time he left who would've guessed
She's carrying his child
Chorus:
Each time he beat her
Each time she lost her baby
Now she kneels at the foot of the cross
Pining for her loss
Up on Stone Mountain
It's been a long time...
But she still cries
When she remembers her little ones
She softly hums a song about lost lives
And she still keeps..
locks of their hair
Tucked away in an old Bible
underneath the hallway stairs
Chorus:
Each time he beat her
Each time she lost her baby
Now she kneels at the foot of the cross
Pining for her loss
Up on Stone Mountain
Now her day's are few...
but she don't mind
She's lived a rugged life
she's ready to go when it's her time
On her last wish...
she's a countin'
on lying next to those old graves
with her babies up on Stone Mountain
Chorus: 2X
Each time he beat her
Each time she lost her baby
She still kneels at the foot of the cross
Pining for her loss
Up on Stone Mountain
Outtro:
Up on Stone Mountain
Up on Stone Mountain
