letra de kelly’s mountain - j. p. cormier

[chorus]
if i could only fly, if i could build a bridge
i’d carry you my love, across this barren ridge
if there were just some way, i’d pull a carriage through the snow
take you over kelly’s mountain, to the village there below
and no one would ever know

[verse 1]
oh, the snow was high again, in the year of 1910
when i rode over kelly’s top from lake bras d’or
o’er the mountain i had come, without rapier, without gun
to fetch my father’s order from the st. ann’s store
as i purchased my supplies, a pretty maidеn caught my eye
her bеauty shone upon me like the sun
as my heart melted away, i heard somebody say
“that is the daughter fair of hugh mcgowan”

[verse 2]
well, she knew she’d caught my eye, and she smiled as she walked by
sayin’, “meet me when the stars come out tonight
on the high road i will wait, by old don campbell’s gate
and we’ll sing a song of love there in the moonlight”

[verse 3]
i knew mcgowan was a man, with a very heavy hand
and his daughter was the meaning to his life
all her suitors, they had come, to the wrong end of his gun
as long as he was livin’, she’d be no man’s wife

but i met her ‘neath the stars, and i took her in my arms
and she said “please take me with you when you go!
beneath my father’s cruel hand, no longer i can stand
i’ll leave with you, and he will never know”
[chorus]
if i could only fly, if i could build a bridge
i’d carry you my love, across this barren ridge
if there were just some way, i’d pull a carriage through the snow
take you over kelly’s mountain, to the village there below
and no one would ever know

[guitar solo]
{mmm, son!}

[verse 4]
we were halfway up the hill, when a gunshot broke the still
and i felt the pain burn deep within my side
she said, “my god, we have to run, my father has a gun!
and he’ll never let you take me as your bride”

in my pain, i slipped and fell, and it wasn’t hard to tell
that mcgowan cursed my soul, not far behind
i pulled her, sobbin’, to my breast, saying “here, i’ve come to rest
but there’s something that i wish before i’m dyin'”

[chorus]
if you could only fly, if you could build a bridge
you’d carry me, my love, across this barren ridge
please tell my father why, you had to bury me in the snow
near the top of kelly’s mountain, where the winds forever blow
or no one will ever know
[outro]
near the top of kelly’s mountain, where the winds forever blow
or no one will ever know
