Frankie Laine - You Gave Me a Mountain lyrics

Born in the heat, of the desert

My mother died, givin' me life

Deprived of the love, love of a father

Blamed for the loss, of his wife

You know Lord, I've been in a prison

For something that I've that I've never done

It's been one hill after another

But I've climbed them all, one by one

But this time Lord, you gave me you gave me a mountain

A mountain I may never climb

And is isn't a hill any longer

You gave me a mountain this time

My woman tired of the hardships

Tired of the grief and the strife

So tired of workin' for nothin'

Tired of bein' my wife

She took my one ray of sunshine

She took my pride and my joy

She took my reason for livin'

She took my small baby boy

So this time, Lord, you gave me a mountain

A mountain I may never climb

And is isn't a hill any longer

You gave me a mountain this time
