1. When you live on the side of a mountain, and the babies all need food
2. Momma wrapped me in her arms, crying "What else can I do?"

1. As the youngest one among us, I got sick and could not eat
2. There's a place across the mountain top, across the mountain side
3. Now I stand upon the mountain top before my mother's grave

1. Daddy prayed to accept his fate, but Momma would not heed
2. They say there is a doctor there who might save our baby's life
3. 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
C G D G
I am but a helpless child whose life depends on thee
