CH: This ole mountain road
among the trees up in the hills
I`d like to know all the things remembered
by this ole mountain road

1. for a long time I haven`t been wandering
through the woods I knew so well
now I`ve just returned to see all places
of my childhood days
when I was roaming in the hills
I found a mountain road
an ole mountain road
I didn`t know about before

CH:

2. I walked down the road and thought about
the people here used to go
about their lifes, about their fates
many years ago
I can hear their words and see their faces
trembling in the air
I can feel those stories
just left here everywhere

CH:

3. I know times are changing there`s no doubt
and ages`re passing by
and the road is hidden in the bush
for a long time without use
and lots of people in the past
were going down, it`s clear
and everyone left something
that`s forever lasting here

1. I am askin' myself
I am askin' myself
for what you're gone and took your things with you
I am feelin' all alone
maybe it's fault of my own
that you're gone and took your things with you

CH: the tears in my eyes
and beautiful memories
remain here, I know right now
it was only short dream
I am feelin' all alone
maybe it's fault of my own
that you're gone and took your things with you

2. you could leave a message here
to make it all clear to me
for what you're gone and took your things with you
all now I have to do
is to worry my heart because of you
that you're gone and took your things with you

CH: the tears in my eyes
and beautiful memories
remain here, I know right now
it was only short dream
all now I have to do
is to worry my heart because of you
that you're gone and took your things with you

1. Wintertime is a-coming
chilly are these days
and the snow starts falling
that cold wind blows round my face

2. I thought we could be happy
in this ole lonesome place
I thought we would never part, dear
but time has really shown our ways

3. your last words freeze my heart, dear
you said you had to go
a town's the place you belong to
you can't accept the hills your home

4. hear that roar in a valley
hear that train's whistle-blow
you are leavin' me darling
the rails are covered with snow

5. all around's in a still now
that white snow treats my sorrow
when the springtime is back here
I hope my heart will be healed

1. When there are long shadows
and the fall wind blows
it brings back memories of you
I can't forget the day you went far away
you wished to go your way

CH: (but] I keep on lovin'you
I'm still missing you
all I can do
day by day to be with you
I can't forget the day
You went far away
You wished to go your way

2. Since that time there's no moonlight
The stars are not bright
The sun shines for me no more
What made you want to leave
You left me here to grieve
You're the one who I need to live

CH: (But] I keep on lovin'you
I'm still missing you
All I can do
Day by day to be with you
What made you want to leave
You left me here to grieve
You're the one who I need to live

1. When I saw you first time darling
I fell in love with you
when I saw you first time darling
I hoped that you'd be true
but now when I'm alone
I think you've got your heart made of stone

2. I thought you loved me darling
but all it was a game
I thought you loved me darling
you'd better feel a blame
and now when I'm alone
I think you've got your heart made of stone

3. you look so sweet oh darling
your attraction is so strong
you look so sweet oh darling
how long I've been so wrong
and now when I'm alone
I think you've got your heart made of stone

4. who'll be another darling
who'll be another catch
who'll be another darling
who'll finish in your net
and now when I'm alone
I think you've got your heart made of stone

1. It happens, anyone can tell you
that love sometimes _ fades away
and desire is hidden only
In a dream that`s passed away
it happens, anyone can tell you
so why don`t you _ let it be
you have to stop making new questions
take your life a bit more easy

CH: but I keep deep in my mind
one or two memories
I can`t forget them easy
when I try to fall asleep
but I keep deep in my mind
one or two memories
is there anybody to advice me
about getting them back to be real

2. our baby`s deep in dream
and lying in a cradle quietly
and I am thinking over
outdoor new dawn is breaking
don`t we have anything to give
don`t we have anything to talk
and lies are slowly creeping
and we`re losing more and more

1. Blues in my soul and clouds in the sky
and shadows on the pathway I'm on
I'm searching for the truth, not advice of a man
I'm on the way it seems alone

CH: I don't understand the people around
I don't understand as before
at last I don't wait for help of a man
I'm on the way it seems alone

2. God, oh, my God, show me your will
how long will you hide your face
God, oh, my God, my soul is too tired
my heart longs for You all my days

CH:

3. I'm waiting for You, just Your Holy word
can lead me the way right on
been waiting for You too long, oh, my Lord
I'm on the way it seems alone

1. My father often comes home
too late when there's dark
and I often clear out at this time
cause I hate 'em all the quarrels
my mother always cries
when they have a row
and I rather stay out on the street
cause I don't know what to do

CH: I cannot bear those moments
when my parents have a fight
my mind is in confusion
I got headache I'm driven to cry
you know I don't know how to help
cause I'm only ten years old
and now you know why it's too late
and I'm on the street and roam

2. my sister left our home you know
'twas 'bout two months ago
she was the only friend of mine
she couldn't stand the quarrels
she was sixteen and she's gone away
and I've stayed here so alone
the only way to change it all
is to run away from home

1. When the bright moon shines
and around there's a still
and the stars up above are a-gleam
I sit down at my door
and I think of our love
we once shared and now is a dream

CH: years've passed by
my life's almost o'er
my friends and loved ones are gone
years've passed by
my life's almost o'er
but those memories of you are still here

2. we once loved each other
all around seemed so bright
every time you proved a light of my days
but you'd gone and now you're waitin'
on the other shore
I know that soon we'll meet each other yonder there

1. I can hear your last words darling
I can really feel you here
I can see your sparkling blue eyes
those memories of you are killing me

2. I can see your nice face darling
your presence always thrilled me so
it seems you're here I can't get over
that's why I must feel so alone

3. you're gone so far away my darling
your laughing still sounds to me
what I give for the only moment
to hold you in my arms my dear

4. I hope that time will cure my hurtin'
but nothing will be as before
you're the first and you're the only
who filled my heart for ever more
