I was climbin' on a mountain, hangin' my face down
Taking it easy, slowing my pace down
Staring at the rocks growing under my feet
The grass is green and the skies are yellow
You're a gal and I'm a fellow
Why don't you come mountain climbin' with me?
As I was climbin' that dusty stair
Wind was a-blowin' through my rusty hair
Blowin my mind, crackin my will
I was sittin at the roadside, eating my dinner
Deep inside I know I'm no sinner
I packed my belongings and I carried on up
The grass is green and the skies are yellow
You're a gal and I'm a fellow
Why don't you come mountain climbin' with me?
As I was crawlin' that snakelike trail
Sand was a-piling neath my broken nails
I stumbled on the ground and I started to cry
My tears formed a river deep and wide
You were standing on the other side
Still as a rock, gazin' at me
I jumped in the river but the stream was too strong
Took me to the place I truly belong
Guess I done wrong
Guess I done wrong
The grass is green and the skies are yellow
You're a gal and I'm a fellow
Why don't you come mountain climbin' with me?
