ROCKS IN THE MOUNTAIN
(Vern Adams)


Jimmie Davis - 1963


Well the rocks in the mountain shine like diamonds
Rocks in the mountain shine like diamonds
Rocks in the mountain shine like diamonds
Let 'em shine, boy, let 'em shine

This old hammer killed John Henry
This old hammer killed John Henry
This old hammer killed John Henry
Didn't kill me, boy, didn't kill me

Well the rocks in the mountain shine like diamonds
Rocks in the mountain shine like diamonds
Rocks in the mountain shine like diamonds
Let 'em shine, boy, let 'em shine

Can't you hear it ringin' on the mountain
Can't you hear it ringin' on the mountain
Can't you hear it ringin' on the mountain
Ringin' so fine, boy, ringin' so fine

You gotta walk that lonesome valley
You gotta walk it by yourself
No one here can walk it for you
You gotta walk it by yourself

Well the rocks in the mountain shine like diamonds
Rocks in the mountain shine like diamonds
Rocks in the mountain shine like diamonds
Let 'em shine, boy, let 'em shine
