Going over That Mountain
Well, I'm going over that mountain
Going across that sea
Going over that mountain
Don't wait around for me
I got boots of solid leather
A coat to keep me warm
Boots of solid leather
When you wake up I'll be gone
Flowers in the meadow
Wet with morning dew
The river's on the rise
The sky silvery blue
I can hear the church bells ringing
Wonder who they're ringing for
I can hear the church bells ringing
And the slamming of a door
Well, God is in his heaven
And the devil's down in hell
I'm going over that mountain
Where I'm bound now I can't tell
Brother, don't you worry
Sister, don't you weep
Someday we will meet
I gaze at the horizon
In the mirror of the sea
I gaze at the horizon
There's no one here but me
Tombstone's my pillow
Cold ground my bed
Blue skies my blanket
Moonlight my spread
(The last verse is an excerpt from ""Death room blues"" by Blind Willie McTell)
