Claude King - Green Mountain слова песни
At the bottom of Green Mountain William Deacon stands and stares into the rainWith coal grey eyes yellow teeth and a face that shows the strainOf his fight against the people who would cut Green Mountain downTo paid away for what they say is a short cut in the townTheir sugar and the gas tanks of the dosers and the graters and mudThe grits they finished yesterday was washed away by last night`s ragin` floodAnd the dam went out with dynamite strollin`s from the work through shackBut the coal grey eyes of William Deacon never once looked backThey`re gonna move Green Mountain he can`t stand in the wayBut William Deacon swears Green Mountain`s gonna stayThey`re gonna move Green Mountain at least that`s what they sayBut there he stands lookin` twice as big as he did yesterdayFor hundred years and more the Deacon Clan has planned Green Mountain as dear homeBut the highway department don`t have the sence to leave well enough aloneWitn an iron hand he raised ten kids and taught `em right from wrongAnd then trouble come the Deacon Clan can be mighty bight and strongThey carried William Deacon`s body down from old Green Mountain yesterdayHe was crashed by a rollin` grabble truck when he stepped out into the wayThe forman round then said well now the work can start againBut he forgot the family pride of all the Deacon ClanThey`re gonna move Green Mountain...
