Em There was another, a wild dirt flower C Em Cold was her heart and as dark as dire C Em Tears on the ground where her love did die D 'Neath the bloody moon Em Hear the mountains cry. (Fiddle break) Em Oh dig his grave narrow and deep C Em Set a jug of whiskey by his thirsty feet C Em And lay two pennies on his roving eyes D Two women wailing Em As the mountains cry. C Em Oh the wind blows weary and the willows sigh D Em Rivers of sorrow when the mountains cry. (x2)
