Mountain Cry Lyrics

I met my woman on a mountain side
Looking to get warm, needed a place to hide
She took me in as the day grew long
We lay by the fire that love, love grew so strong

I had left the city for its dirt and grime
Factory walls to make mountain time
I found love, I let it slip away
Now I'm alone, here I'm gonna stay

I keep on looking to this very day
For my baby...my baby...(so far)...who's gone away
I'll search... search this land till my dyin' day
For the sweet lovin' woman, make a mountain
Make a mountain
Cry
Cry
Make a mountain
Cry
Mountain cry
Make a mountain (mountain cry)
Come on baby
Mountain cry
Mountain cry
Mountain...mountain...
Make a mountain cry

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is a classic tale of lost love behind magnificent, magnificent being an understatement, guitar rhythm.

A man lost a woman who nurtured him beyond his imagination. Minute worldly intentions took him away from her. The longing he carries to find her will keep him searching until his dying day. The thought of seeing her once more being more than worth his effort. A woman such as her herself can, in his mind, brings a mountain to tears. The illusion of himself being a mountain, perhaps behind the analogy behind those words.

If there is one force in this world that was capable of bringing a mountain to tears, Love would be that force...... <3
