Letra

Now up on echo mountain
In the spring of '32
Jim and Becky Johnson
With a bible and a mule
Set out to raise a family
But the babies didn't come
So when they found that old stray hound
They loved him like a son
But soon their prayers were answered
The baby had his momma's eyes
How that old dog loved him
He would never leave his side
They could always trust that faithful hound
With the baby they all loved
'Til the child was missin'
And the dog was drenched with blood
Now the cries on echo mountain
Are a painful thing to hear
All the neighbors know the reason (ooh)
For the Johnson's bitter tears
When a man don't use good judgment
It's the innocent who pay
Now the cries on echo mountain
Will haunt me to this day (ooh)
Jim picked up his rifle
He shot and killed the hound
Oh, but there inside the cabin
Was the baby safe and sound
When they found the backdoor open
And too wolves lyin' still
They knew they'd made a grave mistake
With the righteous blood they spilled
Now up on echo mountain
You'll find a lonesome grave
Marked with a handmade marble stone that reads
"God bless the brave"
When daddy tells the story
Of the dog that saved my life
He always asks forgiveness
And the tears still fill his eyes
Now the cries on echo mountain
Are a painful thing to hear
All the neighbors know the reason (ooh)
For the Johnson's bitter tears
When a man don't use good judgment
It's the innocent who pay
Now the cries on echo mountain
Will haunt me to this day (ooh)
When a man don't use good judgment
It's the innocent who pay
Now the cries on echo mountain
Will haunt me to this day
