The Country Gentleman - Matterhorn lyrics

rate me

We started out from Bern one sunny August morn <br />

There was just the four of us against the Matterhorn. <br />

There was Albert the Australian and John the Irishman <br />

Me and Bill from Britian, mad dogs in the sun. <br />

<br />

Chorus: <br />

Matterhorn, Matterhorn, men have tried men have died to <br />

Climb the Matterhorn, that mighty Matterhorn.<br />

<br />

Two miles up we lost John and the ration fell below. <br />

Al and Bill are lying beneath an avalanche of snow. <br />

Now here I am alone and I know I cannot stop. <br />

Two more yards in front of me before I reach the top. <br />

<br />

(Chorus) <br />

<br />

Well here I am a dying upon the Matterhorn <br />

Not a thing for me to lie in nor a thing to keep me warm. <br />

The Queen would surly kinght me if I could get back down, <br />

But it's closer here to heaven than it is back to the ground.
