Sweet Mountain Rose

I've been around in many a town

Drinkin' away through the night

And all that I found, what goes up must come down

Oh boy, was I in for a fight

There's a girl over there with curls in her hair

Colours that dance in her eyes

Oh, I'll pray to God and I'll go to church

If you'll be my angel tonight

I want you to know

My heart's on fire like whisky deep down in my soul

You're one in a million, yeah, you are my sweet mountain rose

With you by my side for the rest of my life

Darling, you're one in a million, I know

Please take me home, my sweet mountain rose

I'm not afraid, I'm gallus and bold

But something's got a hold of my tongue

And somehow through my havering tones

My courage is second to none

I asked for a kiss and she didn't miss

A taste of Bruichladdich on ice

Oh, I'll pray to God and I'll go to church

If you'll be my angel for life

I want you to know

My heart's on fire like whisky deep down in my soul

You're one in a million, yeah, you are my sweet mountain rose

With you by my side for the rest of my life

Darling, you're one in a million, I know

Please take me home, my sweet mountain rose, oh

Please take me home

One in a million, my mountain rose

Forever with you by my side

Now I pray to God and I go to church

'Cause I found my angel that night
