Mountain Boy (Country tinged Easy Listening)

1.
On a snow wimpled mountain
lived a slow witted boy
but the stars were his fountain
when they filled him with joy.

 

2.

 

And the birds in the branches
were his branches of song.
Through all life's avalanches;
they helped him get along.

 

Chorus:

 

All the world called him simple
and perhaps they were right
for in things that were simple
the boy found real delight.

 

Spent his days on that mountain;
busy counting his joys.
I wish I could be as happy
as that poor Mountain boy

 

3.

 

And the wild blooms that glistened
on that cold mountain peak
were the ears that would listen
when that boy tried to speak.

 

4.

 

He would tell them his sadness;
water them with his tears;
they would fill him with gladness;
drive away all his fears.

 

Chorus:

 

All the world called him simple
and perhaps they were right
for in things that were simple
the boy found real delight.

 

Spent his days on that mountain;
busy counting his joys.
I wish I could be as happy
as that poor Mountain boy.
