A Brief Intermission

not sure if these are right, but this is what i hear:

A mother went up to the mountain, she said it was for gold,
but all these drums and indians, oh no.
Said Buddy was a good boy,
but just not for me,
come on now pack your bags,
time to leave.
But ma, are you dead,
are you free from this life you've lead,
for such red faced men,
oh ma', oh please don't leave.
Back to the city in high heels,
gold rings upon her hands,
get up son, it's time to run, jump,
and land, in a wagon with no wheels,
no place to go.
She just smiles and nods her head,
a welcome home, but
oh those mines can't you see,
we're just much too deep for your sins,
though you buried them beneath the mountain top.
Where are you going with your coonskin boots?
Oh I just want to be with you.
I know you never said that you would stay,
forever and it's getting late.
Oh I don't wanna be a broken boy,
so sad, alone, and oh so coy.
Oh why you gotta be so goddamn cruel?
Oh I just wanna be with you, but do you?
A mother went back to the mountain,
she said it was for love,
But all those mountain men
are buried with their lust,
and her gold rings.
