Veirs, Laura - Mountains Of The Moon Lyrics






Cold mountain water
Jade Merchant's daughter
Mountains of the moon
Electra, bow and bend to me
Hi ho, the carrion crow
Fol de rol de riddle
Hi ho, the carrion crow
Bow and bend to me

Hey, Tom Banjo, hey a laurel
More than laurel you may sow
More than laurel you may sow
Hey, the laurel, hey the city in the rain
Hey, hey, hey, the wild wheat
Waving in the wind

Here's a feast of solitude
Fiddler grim and tall
All the dancing kings and wives
Assembled in the hall
Lost is the long and loneliest town
Fairy sybil flying
All along the
All along the mountains of the moon

Hey, Tom Banjo, it's time to matter
The Earth will see you on through this time
The Earth will see you on through this time
Down by the water
Marsh king's daughter did you know?
Clothed in tatters always will be
Tom, where did you go?

Mountains of the moon
Electra, mountains of the moon
All along the
All along the mountains of the moon
Hi ho the carrion crow
Fol de rol de riddle
Hi ho the carrion crow
Bow and bend to me
Bend to me

    Just heard this for the first time on KALX, the Cal Berkeley public station. Really beautiful version.

  2. D.... D....

    Gorgeous. Wonderfully done.

  3. M.... G....

    i might dare to say one of the best dead covers ive heard. Maybe its the homage of the pedal steel and garcia's love for the instrument being used in a fantasticly spacey way like garcias self titled album, but man this really is quite fantastic stuff!

  4. F.... T....

    Captures the haunting side of beautiful... or is that the other way around? Kudos on bringing your artistry to this one. For some reason I always think of George RR Martin and GOT when I hear this tune... even your version, and I mean that in a positive way to the fullest extent possible.

  5. C.... W....

    Really awesome!!

  6. S.... H....

    Beautiful version Laura. Shades of Suzanne but all your own. Thank you.

  7. w.... ....

    Great (Grate) interpretation. Two thumbs up......
