Brushy Mountain - Gray

I got a home over this mountain

I’ll be here 20 years to life

now Brushy Mountian has my body

but tonight my soul it will fly

I had a girl in east Kentucky

she had a man across the Tennessee line

I followed them down to the Tennessee river

with a shotgun and the devil by my side

there was a full moon risin through the cold black trees

there was something ragin deep inside of me

left their bodies lay there by that dark river

and for a moment my soul it was free

I got a home over this mountain

I’ll be here 20 years to life now Brushy Mountain has my body

but tonight my soul it will fly

black bird flyin by the light of the moon

take my sorrow away with you

fly me over these misty mountains

for my life here on earth will soon be through

mother loved Jesus with all the love inside

she said oh my son seek your soul to find

salvation in Jesus will see you safely

from out of the darkness and into

the everlasting light

I got a home over this mountain

I’ll be here 20 years to life

now Brushy Mountian has my body

but tonight my soul it will fly
