(Kris Kristofferson)
I was born on Stagger Mountain in the sunshine and the snow
And leavin' was the first mistake I made
But I hungred for the shadows in the valley down below
And a girl who danced the tune the devil played.
Her smile was like the blinding light of sunshine on the snow
And the flashin' of her hair was blas as sin
And her body set the smokes of hell to boildin' in my schull
When the fiddle of the devil made her spin.
Morning sun shines (sun shines) high on mountain
Where the air is pure and cold
But there's darkness in the shadows
In the canyons of my soul.
--- Instrumental ---
The lanter cast her shadow like a demon on the wall
And the naked sweat was gleamin' on her skin
Then the room was spinning closer as her clothes began to fall
And the eagle started screaming in my brain.
Then I saw the laughing dagger and I heard the devil scream
And her bleadin' heart was beatin' in my hand
Then the darkness flew away and I was standing by a tree
With a hanging rope a dangling from a limb.
Morning sun shines (sun shines) high on mountain
Where the air is pure and cold
But there's darkness in the shadows
In the canyons of my soul...
