 Every day is a gamble, if you really gonna make it through
 Daddy warned against it, said "You may not make it through."
 
             G                      F                C               G
 When you live on the side of a mountain, and the babies all need food
 Momma wrapped me in her arms, crying "What else can I do?"
 
           G             F              G                  F
 As the youngest one among us, I got sick and could not eat
 There's a place across the mountain top, across the mountain side
 Now I stand upon the mountain top before my mother's grave
    G                F                    C              G
 Daddy prayed to accept his fate, but Momma would not heed
 They say there is a doctor there who might save our baby's life
 And every year I visit here to thank her for that day
	  C                      G                      F
	Carry me across the mountain, before it is too late
	 C              G              D      G
	Heal my broken body, Death not be my fate
	 C                       G                     F
	Carry me across the mountain, don't give up on me
	 C          G                           D        G
	I am but a helpless child whose life depends on thee
