[VERSE 1]
[Em]Axxx lilac comes on a poisoned thorn
It has[C] rootsx dirty and [Em] tornx
Young-uns a[C] playin'x as the black crow [Em] fliesx
Mama's[D] weeping;x hear the mountains [Em] cry.x
[VERSE 2]
[Em]Therex was another, a wild dirt flower
Cold was her[C] heartx and as dark as [Em] direx
Tears on the[C] groundx where her love did [Em] diex
'Neath the bloody[D] moon;x hear the mountains [Em] cry.x
(fiddle break)
[VERSE 3]
[Em]Ohxx dig his grave narrow and deep
Set a jug of[C] whiskeyx by his thirsty [Em] feetx
And lay two[C] penniesx on his roving [Em] eyesx
Two women w[D]ailingx as the mountains [Em] cry.x
[CODA]
Oh the wind blows[C] wearyx and the willows [Em] sighx
Rivers of s[D]orrowx when the mountains [Em] cry.x (x2)
