Sugar Mountain Lyrics

Do you go down
On the side of Sugar Mountain?
When leaves are brown
And the sunlight splits the sky
I have found that
The sea breeze tears at the ocean
And I hope somebody 
Will love me 'fore I die

   Oh willow, weep no more my lady
   Though the days are long and lazy
   And the sun sets heavy on the sky
   Weep no more, I'm homeward bound
   I'm gonna tear this mountain down
   You're gonna be somebody bye and bye

Sugar Mountain trees are made of candy
And the sun drips honey in your eyes
Every fountain's water tastes like brandy
And I know somebody 
Will love me 'fore I die

   Oh willow, weep no more my lady
   Though the days are long and lazy
   And the sun sets heavy on the sky
   Weep no more, I'm homeward bound
   I'm gonna tear this mountain down
   You're gonna be somebody bye and bye

Sugar Mountain lovers taste like honey
And their lips like elderberry wine
Every other stranger pales and withers
And I hope somebody
Will love me 'fore I die

   Oh willow, weep no more my lady
   Though the days are long and lazy
   And the sun sets heavy on the sky
   Weep no more, I'm homeward bound
   I'm gonna tear this mountain down
   You're gonna be somebody bye and bye
