Story behind the song
What change can do to places and people.

Blues Over The Mountain © Jul 01/07
Take our blues over the mountain
Take our blues far away
Take our blues over the mountain
Take our blues away today
We were a national monument
Back in the spring of ‘93
When heartache pass was cut through us
Turn of the century
They cut the time to the city
Old ways was getting too slow
But at the end of the heartache
I guess we’ve all got to go
Sophie girl I would come with you
But that kettle’s on the boil
That old west wind is right for dryin’
And I could not bear to see it spoil
Down in the valley I heard their playin’
But I did not catch their pretty faces
Babe if you follow the music
Maybe you’ll find that’s where your place is
Our next of kin they were born here
To stay was never hard for them
Long ago they lit the high ground
Now mountain shine is gettin’ dim
The pleasure down there has a high cost
Can’t you change your mind for me oh please
At least up here the pain is for real
I’d rather die standin’ than live on my knees
