Lyrics

I got a home over this mountain
I've been here twenty years too long
Now Brushy Mountain has my body
But tonight my soul it will fly
I had a girl in East Kentucky
She had a man across the Tennessee line
I followed them down to the Tennessee River
Where they shot them and the devil by my side
Was a full moon rising through the cold black trees
There was something raging deep inside of me
Left their bodies lay there by that dark river
And for a moment my soul it was free
I got a home over this mountain
I've been here twenty years too long
Now Brushy Mountain has my body
But tonight my soul it will fly
Blackbird flying by the light of the moon
Take my sorrow away with you
Fly me over these misty mountains
For my life here on earth will soon be through
Mother of Jesus with all the love inside
Said oh my son seek your soul to find
Salvation in Jesus will see you safely
Out of the darkness and into the everlasting light
I got a home over this mountain
I've been here twenty years too long
Now Brushy Mountain has my body
But tonight my soul it will fly
Yeah but tonight my soul it will fly
