Pierce Pettis - A Mountaineer is Always Free

Kishore Kumar Hits — Pierce Pettis - A Mountaineer is Always Free lyrics

Artist: Pierce Pettis

album: State of Grace

I'm one of the few
Proud to be standing
I walked up the pier
From the tall ships a-landing
My clothes were just rags
No good in this weather
But my back it was strong
My hands, tough as leather
I climbed up these hills
Til I came to the spot where I stand
I cleared these fields
And I pulled up the stumps with my hands
No more a wanderer
No more a refugee
For a mountaineer is always free
♪
I took a Cherokee bride
She gave me five babies
I sang at the wakes
And I cried at the weddings
I Raised all my children
The songs of my youth
To dance to the fiddle
And practice the truth
I carried them upon my shoulders
To where they could see
The whole world before them
Just so they would know what it means
No more a wanderer
No more a refugee
For a mountaineer is always free
♪
No kings or landlords
To treat us like beggars and thieves
There's no one but God here to fear
Or to look look down on me
No more a wanderer
No more a refugee
For a mountaineer is always free
