Johnny Cash - She Came From The Mountains Lyrics
She came from the mountains Rocky Mountains eagle-high
She's from where the mountains lean up to the sky
Now she's back among the Rockies where mountain thunders cry
Now the wind from off the mountains wails a sad goodbye
I met a Rocky Mountain girl to my soul her heart let speak
We went to tell her parents and an old grandmother said
If you'll leave these mountains girl you'll wish that you were dead
The next day I took her with me to my far-off Iowa home
Way out on the flatlands where the mountain winds don't moan
Each footstep we took was happy or at least it shoudn't been
But I would find her listening for that same lone mountain wind
She came from the mountains...
I walked to see morning sun shine down on where she was gone
I'd known that lately she'd been sad women sometimes get that way
I hadn't guessed how much was wrong until that fatal day
She had left the weeping letter homesick with mountain names
She was somewhere in the Rockies and I knew I'd been to blame
So now in Colorado Springs I wait near old Pike's Peak
Where once I met a mountain girl that mountain girl I seek
She came from the mountains...

Johnny Cash She Came From The Mountains Comments
Se mira. Como un niño k joven love you johnny eres excelente cantante juapo
That song almost had me in tears. I am a mountain girl and I moved to a big city a year ago to go to university and I am constantly homesick because I miss my mountains and the beautiful landscape at home.
White music is just breathtaking I think our people create some of the most beautiful things on gods green earth best of all being white women😂

All your beautiful words and testimony of Survivor's of poverty
That-a-hwun alhways makes me cry.
This has got to be one of the two saddest songs he ever sang! The other would be the Blizzard where a man froze to death just yards from his house.
NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BY...CASH..
Never heard this song before, I like it and I love "The Blizzard". Have you heard his version of "I'm so lonesome I could cry"?
Hello JC Infocenter. Thanks for the upload, beautiful song. Would you happen to know where that picture is from? How old was he?
July 1950, he would have been 18 at the time.
Tellem Uncle Johnny.
Wanneer dit plaatje gemaakt is weet ik niet maar die stem en dit jonge koppie passen totaal niet bij elkaar ook al had hij al vroeg een zware stem
Dit is van het album Happiness Is You uitgebracht in 1966 de foto van Johhny is van jaren eerder dan het plaatje
If john wayne could sing he would sound like this.
Want to see John Wayne sing check out Randy the singing cowboy
That's a baby face Johnny
Elvis i thought you died in 77
Dat ben ik helemaal met je eens en eigenlijk kan ik me niet voorstellen dat hij met dit babyface dit liedje zong, daar verwacht je toch een kinderstemmetje bij. De foto past absoluut niet bij dit lied.
bigfan J.C. Je zou het album ‘american vi’ eens moeten opzoeken. Op de foto is hij nog jonger, maar zijn stem is nog ouder.
"To my soul her heart did speak." Hauntingly beautiful song......his voice, OMG.
Beautiful song
god bless love it
What a sad and pretty song.
nice pic of johnny as a young boy
First times I've heard this!...it amazes me how many fantastic songs Johnny sang that were in the shadows....wonderful song!!!...thanks
I love this song. I'd never heard it before so I now sit here with tears both of joy and sorrow yet with understanding.
Linda Fields 62year old trucker here with tears in his eyes!!! Love it Mike
Anita's voice sounds like an Angel
It always does

I like this song, so I adapted a Canadian version:
D Em A D
She came from the mountains Rocky Mountains eagle-high
Em A D
She's from where the mountains lean up to the sky
Em A D
Now she's back among the Rockies where mountain thunders cry
Em A D
Now the wind from off the mountains wails a sad goodbye
(Spoken):
Once in Banff Springs at the foot of Sanson Peak
I met a Rocky Mountain girl to my soul her heart did speak
We went to tell her parents and an old grandmother said
If you'll leave these mountains girl you'll wish that you were dead
The next day I took her with me to my far-off Saskatchewan home
Way out on the flatlands where the mountain winds don't moan
Each footstep we took was happy or at least it should've been
But I would find her listening for that same lone mountain wind
She came from the mountains Rocky Mountains eagle-high
She's from where the mountains lean up to the sky
Now she's back among the Rockies where mountain thunders cry
Now the wind from off the mountains wails a sad goodbye
(Spoken):
Months passed as fast as antelopes until one fatal dismal dawn
I waked to see morning sun shine down on where she was gone
I'd known that lately she'd been sad women sometimes get that way
I hadn't guessed how much was wrong until that fatal day
She had left the weeping letter homesick with mountain names
She was somewhere in the Rockies and I knew I'd been to blame
So now in Banff Springs I wait near Sanson's Peak
Where once I met a mountain girl that mountain girl I seek
She came from the mountains Rocky Mountains eagle-high
She's from where the mountains lean up to the sky
Now she's back among the Rockies where mountain thunders cry
Now the wind from off the mountains wails a sad goodbye
"Yes, Heaven? Get me Stan Rogers."
What you did is took a good song, changed a few words, and made it a bit less good
John R will never be gone his songs will give him eternity . I have listened to John for over 45 years and he is and always will be my Idol ..this song I have never heard before .and its beautiful I cryed when I heard it now I will add it to my collection of Johnny Cash's music JOHN R CASH lives through his music.......
WOW first time hearing this GREAT!!
Okay, I am a HUGE fan of Johnny Cash and this is the first time I have ever heard this song.. AWESOME!
John knew alot of small towns heck he was from a small town and i think hes a true American wish more was like him i wish i grew up in that era of time im 19 what happened to music and the world and i think he dont have his scar here
I think the picture above was before he wrecked his Cadillac. If you can find the book Man In Black read it, he wrote it but had it edited for the sake of spelling and grammar.
Colorado Springs? Nice, that's where a 4th/5th cousin of mine lives.
i think it is a Bob Dylan song
I think that's a piture of Cash whe he was in the Air Force.
great song
so young and good-looking Johnny Cash!
Never heard this before either. Fantastic!!
what tha hell..young johnny cash...
I LOVE YOU JOHNNY
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a very beautiful song NUFF SAID
never heard this before! very nice! and with Anita's wonderful voice. thank you. DAY
