The Whole Mountain(Remastered)

Just 22 with a sundress of blue

And a heart as black as coffee

She drew me in with a Cheshire-cat grin

And a forked tongue that spoke so softly

She said, come rescue me from East Tennessee

As she rested her head on my shoulder

So I made her my wife, and she turned like a knife

With a stare like steel but colder

I loved a woman who loved to roam

And her lies flowed like a fountain

With her cold, cold heart, it's death do us part

Cuz the sheriff can't search the whole mountain

No the sheriff can't search the whole mountain

She took all my pay and the silver I saved

Left the gold ring that I gave her

Pure evil I guess, cuz she laughed when she left

And she played my heart like a Taylor

I loved a woman who loved to roam

And her lies flowed like a fountain

With her cold, cold heart, she saith do us part

Cuz the sheriff can't search the whole mountain

No the sheriff can't search the whole mountain

When the Moonlight is gray, I trek to her grave

Over the hills and bitter mile

As she lays in the dirt, the worms do their work

And in the ground she's finally smiling

I loved a woman who loved to roam, and her lies flowed like a fountain

With her cold, cold heart, she saith do us part

Cuz the sheriff can't search the whole mountain

I loved a woman who loved to roam, and her lies flowed like a fountain

With her cold, cold heart, she saith do us part

Cuz the sheriff can't search the whole mountain

No the sheriff can't search the whole mountain

No the sheriff can't search the whole mountain
