D                        G          D
Over the mountain I will build us a cabin 
                         Bm
Over the mountain I will build us a home 
      Em                         Bm      
We’ll sit by the fire won't the juniper smell good 
Em               Em7
Over the mountain 

D                   G            D
Take me my lady and give me some babies 
                         Bm
Share all my burdens and sew on my clothes 
Em                        Bm      
Life is a fountain we’ll drink it bone dry 
Em               Em7
Over the mountain 

G                       D
April will promise you blossoms my lady 
G                           Bm
Creek waters risin' and the mares gonna foal 
Em                       Bm      
Gather the creatures and bring them on down
Em               Em7
On down the mountain 

I will plant us a garden here next to the forest 
Dig us a well there with water so pure 
Water so pure and as sweet as the sunshine 
Over the mountain 

I will build us a cabin here in the tall wood 
Bottom land cedar and Snake River stone 
We will sit by the fire won't the juniper smell good 
Over the mountain
