Coming of the roads


Now that our mountain is growing with people hungry for wealth
How come its you thats a-going
And Im left all alone by myself?
We used to hunt the cool caverns deep in our forest of green
Then came the road and the tavern and you found a new love it seems

Once I had you and the wildwood, now its just dusty roads
And I cant help but blamin your going
On the coming, the coming of the roads

Look how theyve cut all to pieces our ancient redwood and oak
And the hillsides are stained with the greases
That burned up the heavens with smoke

You used to curse the bold crewmen
Who stripped our earth of its ore
Now youve changed and youve gone over to them
And youve learned to love what you hated before

Once I thanked God for my treasure, now like rust it corrodes
And I cant help but blamin your goin
On the coming, the coming of the roads.

Once I thanked God for my treasure, now like rust it corrodes
And I cant help but blamin your goin
On the coming, the coming of the roads.

And I cant help but blamin your goin
On the coming, the coming of the roads.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics COMING OF THE ROADS of PETER, PAUL & MARY is also present in the album Flowers and stones (1990)

Biografia

Peter, Paul and Mary is an American folk music trio formed in 1960 in New York City. Composed of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers, the group rose to fame in the 1960s for their folk-rock music, often featuring politically and socially conscious lyrics. Among their most notable hits are "If I Had a Hammer", "Blowin' in the Wind" (a cover of Bob Dylan), and "Leaving on a Jet Plane". Peter, Paul and Mary participated in numerous events for the American civil rights movement, such as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963. Their musical style influenced generations of folk and rock artists, contributing to the spread of folk music throughout the United States and the world. After a hiatus in the 1970s, the group reunited on several occasions for concerts and recordings until 2018, when Mary Travers passed away.
