Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Big mountain, wide river
There's an ancient pull
These tree trunks, these stream beds
Leave our bellies full
[Verse 2]
They sing out
I am gonna stand my ground
You rise to me and I'll blow you down
I am gonna stand my ground
You rise to me and I'll blow you down
[Verse 3]
Hey, Henry, can you hear me?
Let me see those eyes
This distance between us
Can seem a mountain size
[Verse 4]
But, boy, you are gonna stand your ground
They rise to you, you blow them down
Let me see you stand your ground
They rise to you, you blow them down
[Verse 5]
My darling, my sweetheart
I am in your sway
To cold climes come springtime
So let me hear you say
[Verse 6]
My love, I am gonna stand my ground
They rise to me and I'll blow them down
I am gonna stand my ground
They rise to me and I'll blow them down
'Cause I am gonna stand my ground
You rise to me and I'll blow you down
