You Gave Me A Mountain - Live at Hampton Roads Coliseum, Hampton Roads, VA - April 9, 1972

Lyrics

[Verse] Born in the heat of the desert My mother died giving me life Deprived of the love of a father Blamed for the loss of his wife [Verse] You know Lord I've been in a prison For something that I, I've never done It's been one hill after another An' I've climbed them all one by one [Chorus] Oh, But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain A mountain I may never climb But It isn't a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time [Verse] Oh-oh-oh My woman got tired of the hеartaches Tired of the griеf and the strife So tired of working for nothing Just tired of being my wife [Verse] She took my one ray of sunshine She took my pride and my joy She took my reason for living She took my small baby boy [Chorus] Oh, and this time, Lord you gave me a mountain A mountain, oh, I may never climb It isn't a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time You gave me a mountain this time Oh, a mountain this time Oh-oh-oh [Outro] "Thank you, thank you very much"
