Well, I live up on a mountain top
In un-ended misery
?Cause my love lives upon the other
Mountain and she named that agony
The folks up there don't marry us
But we know our love is true
So every night we slip to the valley
And love till one or two
Then I climb, climb, climb up
Misery she climbs agony
Goodnight love we'll meet again
Tomorrow down by the old oak tree
Climb up here and she's up there
And they're keepin' us worlds apart
I'm in misery she's in agony
And it nearly breaks my heart
The days are long every minute is longer
Than before
The sun goes down and the moon goes a climbin'
And I leave my love once more
Then I climb, climb, climb up
Misery she climbs agony
Goodnight love we'll meet again
Tomorrow down by the old oak tree
Now there ain't no future and hide
And love, and I can't go on this way
I can't live on nighttime love
And I want her everyday
There ain't no man and there ain't no mountain
That can ever make me stop
I'm gonna bring her down from agony
And overcome a mountain top
Till then I climb, climb, climb up
Misery she climbs agony
Goodnight love we'll meet again
Tomorrow down by the old oak tree
Till then I climb, climb, climb up
Misery she climbs agony
Goodnight love we'll meet again
Tomorrow down by the old oak tree
