Lyrics
Every day is a gamble if you're even gonna make it through
When you live on the side of a mountain and the baby's only two
I was the youngest one among us, I got sick and would not eat
Daddy prayed, "Accept this fate," but Mama would not heed
Carry me across the mountain before it is too late
Heal my broken body, death not be my fate
Carry me across the mountain, don't give up on me
I am but a helpless child, life depends on me
Daddy warned against it, said, "You may not make it through"
Mama wrapped me in her arms crying, "What else can I do?"
There is a place across the mountain top, across the mountainside
Say there is a doctor there might save our baby's life
Carry me across the mountain before it is too late
Heal my broken body, death not be my fate
Carry me across the mountain, don't give up on me
I am but a helpless child, life depends on me
Now I stand upon the mountain top before my mother's grave
And every year I visit here to thank her for that day
Carry me across the mountain before it is too late
Heal my broken body, death not be my fate
Carry me across the mountain, don't give up on me
