Sweet Mountain Rose lyrics by Nathan Evans
I’ve been around in many a town
Drinking away through the night
And all that I found what goes up must come down
Boy, was I in for a fight
There’s a girl over there with curls in her hair
Colours that dance in her eyes
Oh, I’ll pray to God and I’ll go to church
If you’ll be my angel tonight
I want you to know
My heart’s on fire like whiskey deep down in my soul
You’re one in a million, yeah, you are my sweet mountain rose
With you by my side for the rest of my life, darling
You’re one in a million I know
Please, take me home
My sweet mountain rose
I’m not afraid, I’m gallus and bold
But something’s got a hold of my tongue
And somehow though my hovering tones
My courage is second to none
I asked for a kiss and she didn’t miss
A taste of Bruichladdich on ice
Oh, I’ll pray to God and I’ll go to church
If you’ll be my angel for life
I want you to know
My heart’s on fire like whisky deep down in my soul
You’re one in a million, yeah, you are my sweet mountain rose
With you by my side for the rest of my life, darling
You’re one in a million I know
Please, take me home
My sweet mountain rose
Please, take me home
One in a million moments in rose
Forever with you by my side
Oh, I’ll pray to God and I’ll go to church
Cause I find my angel tonight
