Key: D major•
Verse 1
D
G
Watch the use of talkin'
when it's fun to go a -walkin'
With the birds and bees
Just to be a rover
where the brooks are bubbling over
And the mountain sides are
Watch the use of moping
when it's good to be a -hopin'
That you'll find your honey
When I see my Sally wave
her apron in the valley
I go jumpin' through the bushes
Livin' on the mountaintop,
high up on the mountaintop
She won't climb the mountaintop
for my old man don't like
her poppin'
I meet her on the mountainside
and hope someday that she'll decide
We won't live on the mountaintop,
nor in the valley with her pop
G
D
G
But in a little shanty in the holler
Slippin' round a courtin'
is a game that's really sportin'
When you know your folks
Ain't it tantalizin'
when you stand there realizin'
That her pappy may be
Every time I meet her
she gets just a little sweeter
And my love for her each day
I'm a -gettin' bolder
and if she don't let me hold her
I'm afraid that I can't
Livin' on the mountaintop,
high up on the mountaintop
She won't climb the mountaintop
for my old man don't like her pop
We won't live on the mountaintop
Dirt in the valley with herp hop
