Stanley Brothers - Medicine Springs lyrics

rate me

Well I wandered way back in the mountains

I was searching for fortune and fame

I found where the water runs deep from the hills

They call it the medicine springs

They call it the medicine springs

It was there that I met a fair maiden

Yellow hair and big eyes of blue

She told me one day she loved only me

That she'd forever be true

That she'd forever be true

Well I wanted the best for my darlin'

But my pockets were empty and bare

My love was so great for that starlett of mine

I took what another man had

I took what another man had

As I sit here alone in this jailhouse

With a letter I can't hardly read

It said my darlin' has left this ol' world

She's a waitin' in heaven for me

She's a waitin' in heaven for me

Some day I'll go back to the mountains

Where I'll spend the rest of my days

And the water that runs frome the side of the hill

Will water her flowery grave

Will water her flowery grave
