Up On The Mountain

Shel Silverstein - Jeffrey Comannor

© Evil Eye Music, BMI

Sal from the Valley loved Al from the Alley and they lived in harmony
Sal he played acoustic and Al he played electric and they both look turns on lead
They sang for their friends again and again of all the places they had been
But their favorite song of all was called Up On The Mountain

Up on the mountain up where the light breaks that's where you'll find me
Gonna leave this worrysome world there's trouble behind me
Up on the mountain where the light breaks that's where I'll be
I've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for me

Then into the Valley come a gal from the galleys with a strange and smiling face
Al he played acoustic and Sal he played electric and the gal played a hell of a bass
And when they sang their harmonies the lady fit right in
She soon moved in and lived with them up on the mountain

Up on the mountain up where the light breaks that's where you'll find me...
[ instrumental ]
Now Al from the alley is gone from the valley a sadder but wiser man
And Sally from the Valley and the gal from the galleys they lived in mortal sin
Sal plays acoustic and the gal plays electric and sometimes they hold hands
Late at night you could hear them playin' Up On The Mountain

Up on the mountain up where the light breaks that's where you'll find me...
Hard lickin' and finger pickin' say farewell to me
