Lyrics
Now that our mountain is growing
With people hungry for wealth
How come it's you that's a-going
And I'm left alone by myself?
We used to hunt the cool caverns
Deep in our forests of green
Then came the roads and the taverns
And you found a new love it seems
Once I had you and the wild woods
Now it's just dusty roads
And I can't help from blaming your going
On the coming, the coming of the roads
Look how they cut all to pieces
Our ancient poplar and oak
And the hillsides are stained with the greases
That burn up the heavens with smoke
You used to curse the bold crewmen
Who stripped our land of its ores
Now you've changed and you've gone over to them
And learned to love what you hated before
Once I thanked God for my treasure
Now like rust it corrodes
And I can't help from blaming your going
On the coming, the coming of the roads
