Over The Mountain Chords & Lyrics - Mickey Newbury

[D]Over the mountain I will [G]build us a [D]cabin
Over the mountain I will [Bm]build us a home
We’l[Em]l sit by the fire won't the[Bm] juniper smell good
[Em]Over the mountain[Em7]

[D]Take me my lady and [G]give me some [D]babies
Share all my burdens and [Bm]sew on my clothes
[Em]Life is a fountain we’ll[Bm] drink it bone dry
[Em]Over the mountain[Em7]

[G]April will promise you b[D]lossoms my lady
[G]Creek waters risin' and the [Bm]mares gonna foal
[Em]Gather the creatures and [Bm]bring them on down
[Em]On down the mount[Em7]ain

I will plant us a garden here next to the forest
Dig us a well there with water so pure
Water so pure and as sweet as the sunshine
Over the mountain

I will build us a cabin here in the tall wood
Bottom land cedar and Snake River stone
We will sit by the fire won't the juniper smell good
Over the mountain
