Across the Rocky Mountain Lyrics by Roscoe Holcomb

An Untamed Sense Of Control

0

Far across the rocky mountain I walked for miles and miles
Across the rocky mountain I walked for miles and miles
Say, I’ll never forget my mother’s looks, God bless her sweetly smile
There was an old rich farmer who lived the neighbor-by
He had an only daughter, on her I cast my eye
She was most tall and handsome, blue eyes and curly hair
There never was a girl in the wide world with her I could compare
She was courted by three squires; so well they did agree
Was courted by three squires; so well they did agree
But to none like Jack the sailor who crossed the deep blue sea
So, your cheeks they are too rosy, your fingers are too small
Your cheeks they are too rosy, your fingers are too small
So, your cheeks they are too rosy to face the cannonball
No, my cheeks are not too rosy, nor fingers not to small
My cheeks are not too rosy, nor fingers not to small
I would not change my conscience to see ten thousand fall
She was walking through the battlefield, a-searching up and down
She was walking through the battlefield, a-searching up and down
So, among the dead and wounded, her darling Jack she found
So, she picked him up all in her arms, she carried him to the town
She picked him up all in her arms, she carried him to the town
She took him to the doctor, for to quickly heal the wound
