Lyrics

The rocky mountain
Darling, they're way out in the west, that's where it's at
The rocky mountain
Darling, they're way out in the west
Yeah, you know I hates to go and leave you, sweetheart
Baby, but I know that is for the best
Oh, 'cause I love you
But I can't stay here in your town
Oh, 'cause I love you
But I can't stay here in your town
Yeah, you know I've got my suitcase packed, darling
I ain't gonna leave 'til the sun go down
Rocky mountain
That's a mighty terrible dangerous place
Rocky mountain
It's a mighty terrible dangerous place
Yeah, you know they carried my baby there
Bought a bowl of clay dirt in her face
