Verse 1: [Rhythm Figure 1]
F                         Am           Dm              G
A mother went up to the mountain, she said it was for gold

     Bb                  Dm         G
but all these drums and Indians, oh no

F                Am        Dm           G
said buddy was a good boy, but just not for me

Bb           Dm                      G
come on now, pack your bags, time to leave



Verse 2: [Rhythm Figure 2]
     Bb          C/E
but Mom, are you dead?

         F			  	
are you free from this life you�ve

C/E           Dm         C      Bb
left for such red faced man, oh ma

    C/E              F
oh please don�t leave


Verse 3: [Rhythm Figure 1]
back to the city in high heels, gold rings upon her hands
get up son, it's time to run, jump and land
in a wagon with no wheels and no place to go
she just smiles and nods her head, �oh welcome home� 

Verse 4: [Rhythm Figure 2]
but oh those mines, can�t you see,  
were just much too deep for your 
sins, though you buried them beneath the 
mountaintops 

Bridge: [Rhythm Figure 3]
Dm                      Am     Bb
where you going with your coonskin boots?

     Bb      C      Dm       G	     
well I just want to be with you

I know you never said that you would stay 
forever and it's getting late
well I don�t want to be a broken boy
so sad, alone, and oh so coy
why�d you got to be so god damn cruel?
well I just want to be with you 
but do you...?

[Outro]
A mother went back to the mountain
she said it was for love
but all those mountain men are buried
with their lust and her gold rings
