Lyrics
For my life here on earth will soon be through, i had a girl in east kentucky
There was a full moon risin through the cold black trees, salvation in jesus will see you safely, but tonight my soul it will fly
Fly me over these misty mountains, but tonight my soul it will fly, from out of the darkness and into
Now brushy mountian has my body, i followed them down to the tennessee river, salvation in jesus will see you safely
fly me over these misty mountains
The everlasting light, i followed them down to the tennessee river
She had a man across the tennessee line, salvation in jesus will see you safely, the everlasting light
i got a home over this mountain
From out of the darkness and into, with a shotgun and the devil by my side, but tonight my soul it will fly
Now brushy mountian has my body, i followed them down to the tennessee river
salvation in jesus will see you safely
There was something ragin deep inside of me, she said oh my son seek your soul to find
but tonight my soul it will fly
i got a home over this mountain
salvation in jesus will see you safely
black bird flyin by the light of the moon
Salvation in jesus will see you safely, left their bodies lay there by that dark river, i got a home over this mountain
Left their bodies lay there by that dark river, i got a home over this mountain
There was something ragin deep inside of me, she said oh my son seek your soul to find Mountain, with a shotgun and the devil by my side
There was a full moon risin through the cold black trees, mother loved jesus with all the love inside
i ll be here 20 years to life
and for a moment my soul it was free
I followed them down to the tennessee river, there was a full moon risin through the cold black trees Gray, black bird flyin by the light of the moon
