Mountain’s Daughter

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Deep in the blue ridge Is a tale of forbidden love Two hearts torn apart By a river and a secret touch She was Cherokee Her skin golden like the summer sun One smile to the Miller boy His heart was like a beating drum And everybody told him Be careful where you're going [Chorus] Beware the Mountain's Daughter Who waits where the river meets the pines She dances on the water The moonlight on her skin will make you lose your mind She'll try and call you over to the other side [Verse 2] Hunger knows no danger When the only sound you're hearing is your heart Wild he knew he'd find her waiting by the water in the dark And the only way to hold her was to brave the raging river That any man would be a fool to cross [Chorus] Beware the Mountain's Daughter Who waits where the river meets the pines She dances on the water The moonlight on her skin will make you lose your mind She'll try and call you over to the other side [Verse 3] In that cold black river The Miller's boy called for help above Even the strongest love was not enough To save him from the current's deathly touch And they say the pine trees whisper what he said with his last breath Beware [Chorus] Beware the Mountain's Daughter Who waits where the river meets the pines She dances on the water The moonlight on her skin will make you lose your mind She'll try and call you over to the other side She dances on the water
