Poor Mountain Boy
Donna Ulisse

She wanted lots of money, you thought you'd live on love

Her sights were set on city lights, to you the moon was bright enough

You craved a simple life, she craved a party crowd

You wanted her to stay right there and she just wanted out

CHORUS:

Poor mountain boy how you tried

But your way of life's not what she had in mind

A little run down cabin you always meant to fix

On a hundred rocky acres down on sandy ridge

Sad mountain boy, poor mountain boy

Sad mountain boy, poor mountain boy

Her dreams were always higher than the tallest hemlock pine

She was always gonna leave that lonesome mountain side

But you never did quit tryin' and now she's finally gone


There's no way you can win her back, it's hard to just move on

CHORUS:

Poor mountain boy how you tried

But your way of life's not what she had in mind

A little run down cabin you always meant to fix

On a hundred rocky acres down on sandy ridge

Sad mountain boy, poor mountain boy

Sad mountain boy, poor mountain boy

Lyrics by Donna Ulisse

  A Promise That He Made   Caney Creek to Canaan Land   Dust to Dust   Everything Has Changed   Faith Is A Journey   Flat Broke In Arkansas   Hand Me Down Home   He's Still a Believer   Heartbreak River   Her Heart Is A Stone Hard Ground   High In the Sky   How Mountain Girls Can Love   I Lied   I See The Light Of The World   I'm Calling Heaven Down   I'm Gonna Shine   I've Got Nothin'   In My Wildest Dreams   In The Good Old Days When Times Were Bad   Let The World Wait For A Little While   Love's Crazy Train   Lovin' Every Minute   Send Me The Pillow You Dream On   Showin' My Roots   The Key   The Trouble With You   This Crazy World   This Is My Father's World   Walk This Mountain Down   We've Come To Worship Him   When I Look Back   Where The Cold Wind Blows   Who Will Sing for Me   Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad
