­ Traditional
Went up on the mountain to fetch me a load of pine,
put it in the wagon, I broke down behind
(Chorus:)
Run mountain, chug a little hill
Run mountain, chug a little hill
Run mountain, chug a little hill
There you get your thrill
Sixteen miles from my home, rooster crow for day,
me in bed with another man's wife, better be getting away
(Chorus)
Went up on the mountain to give my horn a blow
Thought I heard a pretty girl say, ?Yonder comes my beau!"
(Chorus)
Wish I had a needle, fine as I could sew
Sew a pretty girl to my side and down the road I'd go
(Chorus)
