Round mountain


I left Round Mountain when the last church closed its doors
Half the town was leavin' and they wouldn't miss one more
Change had been a-comin' and I guess that it changed me
Into a woman who was willin' to abandon a family

Run away from Round Mountain
Run away Miss Emily

Married much too young and took no time to bring a life
Into a world where husbands broke their backs for homes run by their wives
Just a baby raisin' babies, I made mistakes and would make more
'Til I ran out chasin' voices that beckoned me from my back door

Run away from Round Mountain
Run away Miss Emily

Now I'm headed down to a place where copper wishes go
Tell the ones I left behind I can't do this anymore
All of my transgressions are too heavy to drag around
And the weight they put on me will surely let me sink right down

Our four kids were growin' while inside of me a son
I won't stay to be ashamed at the things I know I've done
I was lonely when I let another's husband share my bed
While mine was plowin' fields, I was breakin' vows instead

And I looked down into darkness, and I looked up and felt it burn
It was hotter than the fires of hell my crimes would surely earn
I knew what I was doin' as I climbed up and jumped in
Let the murky water cool me, let it wash away my sins

Now I'm headed down to a place where copper wishes go
Tell the ones I left behind I can't do this anymore
All of my transgressions are too heavy to drag around
And the weight they put on me will surely let me sink right down

Run away from Round Mountain
Run away Miss Emily

Run away from Round Mountain
Run away Miss Emily
