 Verse 3: 
 back to the city in high heels, gold rings upon her hands
 get up son, it's time to run, jump and land
 in a wagon with no wheels and no place to go
 she just smiles and nods her head, ?oh welcome home?
 
          Rhythm Figure 2 
 Verse 4: 
 but oh those mines, can?t you see,
 were just much too deep for your
 sins, though you buried them beneath the
 mountaintops

 Bridge: 
 Dm                      Am     Bb        
 where you going with your coonskin boots?
 
      Bb      C      Dm       G 
 well I just want to be with you
 
 I know you never said that you would stay
 forever and it's getting late
 well I don?t want to be a broken boy
 so sad, alone, and oh so coy
 why?d you got to be so god damn cruel?
 well I just want to be with you
 but do you...?
 
 Outro 
 
 A mother went back to the mountain
 she said it was for love
 but all those mountain men are buried
 with their lust and her gold rings
