[00:00.00]In The Shadow Of Clinch Mountain - Carter Family/Carter
[00:04.14]I grew up on the side of Clinch Mountain
[00:07.49]
[00:08.82]With the beauties and the music of the woods
[00:12.03]
[00:13.65]The sweet song of the bright bubbling fountain
[00:17.06]
[00:18.39]And the warble of the birds I understood
[00:21.45]
[00:23.54]When I've sung my last song in the evening
[00:27.30]
[00:28.36]And the sun sets in the golden west
[00:31.71]
[00:33.35]All the scenes of this world I'll be leaving
[00:36.68]
[00:37.96]In the shadow of Clinch Mountain I will rest
[00:41.72]
[00:53.47]Long ago said the oak and the cedar
[00:56.89]
[00:58.38]Singing deeply in a whisper of the past
[01:01.50]
[01:03.33]Stood not then this great towering leader
[01:06.77]
[01:08.16]Nor the fountain where the crystal gems are kept
[01:11.26]
[01:13.17]When I've sung my last song in the evening
[01:16.54]
[01:18.02]And the sun sets in the golden west
[01:21.20]
[01:22.94]All the scenes of this world I'll be leaving
[01:26.26]
[01:27.85]In the shadow of Clinch Mountain I will rest
[01:31.08]
[01:43.83]Then I asked how this green lofty mountain
[01:46.82]
[01:48.55]In the cauldron of the lonely desert stood
[01:51.77]
[01:53.44]Said this song of the bright sunny fountain
[01:56.66]
[01:58.09]We were given by the waters of the flood
[02:01.53]
[02:03.04]When I've sung my last song in the evening
[02:06.69]
[02:07.92]And the sun sets in the golden west
[02:11.23]
[02:12.80]All the scenes of this world I'll be leaving
[02:16.08]
[02:17.41]In the shadow of Clinch Mountain I will rest
[02:20.97]
[02:32.46]Out that gate I have passed since my childhood
[02:35.64]
[02:37.13]Over the railway through the tunnel to the west
[02:40.48]
[02:42.01]Singing songs of the Clinch Mountain wild woods
[02:45.68]
[02:46.83]Songs that people found and birds loved the best
[02:50.05]
[02:51.69]When I've sung my last song in the evening
[02:55.18]
[02:56.42]And the sun sets in the golden west
[02:59.93]
[03:01.24]All the scenes of this world I'll be leaving
[03:04.66]
[03:06.29]In the shadow of Clinch Mountain I will rest
