Well I wandered way back in the mountainsI was searching for fortune and fameI found where the water runs deep from the hillsThey call it the medicine springsThey call it the medicine springsIt was there that I met a fair maidenYellow hair and big eyes of blueShe told me one day she loved only meThat she'd forever be trueThat she'd forever be trueWell I wanted the best for my darlin'But my pockets were empty and bareMy love was so great for that starlet of mineI took what another man hadI took what another man hadAs I sit here alone in this jail houseWith a letter I can't hardly readIt said my darlin' has left this ol' worldShe's a waitin' in heaven for meShe's a waitin' in heaven for meSome day I'll go back to the mountainsWhere I'll spend the rest of my daysAnd the water that runs frome the side of the hillWill water her flowery graveWill water her flowery grave From Letras Mania
