Jump Mountain
Lyrics
Jump Mountain
Chorus1:
IV I
How the years have flown by on Jump Mountain
IV I V
Gone like leaves in the fall
I IV
Your hill's a’ growin steeper, your holler’s getting’ deeper
I V
How I long to hear the hoot owl call
IV V I
I'm coming back if I have to crawl
V1:
I IV I
High in the hills of Rockbridge County
V
There’s a valley where the Maury River flows
I IV I
Cold flowing streams - the place of my dreams
V I
Where me and dad wandered long ago

V2:
Though the Tuscarora’s gone their spirits linger on
The paths I walked with dad were still the same
As we walked along the trail I heard the tragic tale
He told me how the mountain got its name
V3
Long ago a race was staged when a maiden came of age
To the fastest she was offered as a wife
Her true love ran his best but was slower than the rest
From the mountain top she jumped to end her life
V4
My daddy passed away one dark November day
I’ll take him back where the river bends
Do my level best to fill his last request
Where the story of that pretty maiden ends
Up Jump Mountain, spread his ashes to the wind
