Red Dog Ash - Cathedral lyrics

rate me

I am a mountain man

Born a Scot, but now in the free land

My daddy preached the word of God

Spoiled no son and he spared no rod

And the Lord has called me to save His land

On the banks of the Ohio

I make my way to the Gulf of Mexico

Step by step across this land

I set out to see the Lord’s invention

And the Lord has called me to save His land

Eastward gaze from Pacheco Pass

Behold such beauty unsurpassed

Granite walls and the Merced River

She glows with life to draw her lovers

These hills of light are callin’ me home

Finest cathedral that I have known

Cast from Eden despised and wretched

The serpent’s come to destroy Hetch-Hetchy

Hear those devils shout and holler

To drown this temple for the mighty dollar<br />

<br />
