You Gave Me A Mountain (Live) - Elvis Presley (猫王)

Written by：Marty Robbins

Born in the heat of the desert

My mother died giving me life

Deprived of the love of a father

Blamed for the loss of his wife

You know Lord I've been in a prison

For something that I never done

It's been one hill after another

I've climbed them all one by one

But this time

Lord you gave me a mountain

A mountain you know I may never climb

It isn't just a hill any longer

You gave me a mountain this time

My woman got tired of heartaches

Tired of the grief and the strife

So tired of working for nothing

Just tired of being my wife

She took my one ray of sunshine

She took my pride and my joy

She took my reason for living

She took my small baby boy

But this time

Lord you gave me a mountain

A mountain you know I may never climb

It isn't just a hill any longer

You gave me a mountain this time

Oh Lord

You gave me a mountain

Gave me a mountain this time
