Oh, how I'd like to be upon a windy mountain
Where the treetops drape the sky
Then I would forget all my worries and my trouble
I'll just let the wind blow them by

Let me hear the leaves on the trees when they are singing
Just a moment of relief is all care
For I've got no sorrow, heartaches, or sadness
As long as I can see the trees this way

* Refrain

Tell my old lover in care you should see her
Just how much I love she'll never know
And that I've gone to rest away upon the mountain
Where the howling wind will always blow

* Refrain

Oh, my friends bury me way upon the mountain
Where that old wind will always blow
For I want to rest alone on the mountain
Where the howling wind will always blow

* Refrain
