Echo Mountain Lyrics

Echo Mountain

Now up on Echo Mountain, in the spring of thirty-two
Jim and Becky Johnson with a bible and a mule
Set out to raise a family but the baby didn’t come
So when they found that old stray hound they loved him like a son

But soon their prayers were answered; the baby had his momma’s eyes
How that old dog loved him, he would never leave his side
They could always trust that faithful hound with the baby they all loved
‘Til the day the child was missin’, and the dog was drenched in blood

Now the cries on Echo Mountain are a painful thing to hear
All the neighbors know the reason for the Johnson’s bitter tears
When a man don’t use good judgment it’s the innocent who pays
Now the cries on Echo Mountain will haunt you to this day.

Jim picked up his rifle, he shot and killed the hound
Oh, but there inside the cabin, was the baby safe and sound
When they found the back door open and two wolves lyin’ still
They knew they’d made a grave mistake with the righteous blood they spilled

Now up on Echo Mountain you’ll find a lonesome grave
Marked with the handmade marble stone that reads “God bless the brave”
When daddy tells the story of the dog that saved my life
He always asks forgiveness and the tears still fill his eyes

Now the cries on Echo Mountain are a painful thing to hear
All the neighbors know the reason for the Johnson’s bitter tears
When a man don’t use good judgment it’s the innocent who pays
Now the cries on Echo Mountain will haunt you to this day.

When a man don’t use good judgment it’s the innocent who pays
Now the cries on Echo Mountain will haunt you to this day.

Lovesick And Sorrow Lyrics

I'm lonesome tonight while the moon's shining bright
Thinking of you, little dear
I'm here all alone in our little cabin home
I'm counting the stars in the blue

Lovesick and sorrow is what you brought to me
Oh why, tell me why, did you go
You left me to wander in this whole wide world alone
I'm counting the stars in the blue

I dream every night as I lay in my cabin
And pray to the One up above
To keep you for me and someday you'll return, dear
I'm counting the stars up above

I'll take your picture and frame it in gold
Reading love letters from you
I'm longing to see you in our little cabin home
I'm counting the stars in the blue
