Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show - Mountain Mary lyrics

(R. Sawyer/S. Silverstein)

Mary, if you ever want me, I'll be right here

And Mary, I'm just the one to kiss away all your tears

And Mary, this thing we got is too good to throw away

So Mary, I'm gonna keep it right here and keep it warm every day

Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary

The one that's too high for you to climb

Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary

The rock that you wanted was right here all the time

Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary

The one that's too high for you to climb

Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary

The rock that you wanted was right here all the time

Mary I know that somewhere, I'm in your mind

Mary there's a mountain rising high behind

And Mary you think you can climb it, go ahead and try

But Mary you go up laughing but you always come down crying

Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary

The one that's too high for you to climb

Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary

The rock that you wanted was right here all the time

Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary

The one that's too high for you to climb

Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary

The rock that you wanted was right here all the time
