Текст (слова) песни: kristofferson kris - Stagger Mountain Tragedy
I was born on Stagger Mountain in the sunshine and the snow And leavin` was the first mistake I made; But I hungered for the shadows in the valley down below And the girl that danced the tune the devil played. Her smile was like the blindin` light of sunshine on the snow And the flashin` of her hair was black as sin. And her body set the smokes of hell a-boilin` in my skull When the fiddle of the devil made her spin. Morning sunshine [sunshine] high on the mountain, Where the air is pure and cold; But there`s darkness in the shadows In the canyons of my soul. The lantern cast a shadow like a demon on the wall And the naked sweat was breathin` on her skin; Then the room was spinning closer as her clothes began to fall And the eagle started screamin` in my brain; Then I saw the laughin` dagger and I heard the devil scream And her bleeding heart was beating in my hand. Then the darkness blew away and I was standin` by a tree With a hanging rope a-danglin` from a limb. Morning sunshine [sunshine] high on the mountain, where the air is pure and cold; But there`s darkness in the shadows in the canyons of my soul.
