Up On The Mountain Lyrics - Dr. Hook

Sal from the Valley, loved Al from the Alley 

And they lived in harmony 

Sally played acoustic and Al he played electric 

And they both took turns on lead 

They sang for their friends again and again 

Of the places they have been 

But their favorite song of all was called 

Up on the mountain 

Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks 

That's where you'll find me 

Gonna leave this worrisome world 

And it's troubles behind me 

Up on the mountain, where the light breaks 

That's where I'll be 

I've barely got time to finish this song 

So say farewell to me 

Then into the valley came a gal from the galley 

With a strange and smilin' face 

Al played acoustic and Sally played electric 

And the gal played a hell of a bass 

And when they sang their harmonies 

The lady dipped right in 

She soon moved in and lived with them 

Up on the mountain 

Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks 

That's where you'll find me 

Gonna leave this worrisome world 

And it's troubles behind me 

Up on the mountain, where the light breaks 

That's where I'll be 

I've barely got time to finish this song 

So say farewell to me 

Now Al from the Alley, has gone from the Valley 

A sadder but wiser man 

And Sally from the Valley and the gal from the galley 

They lived in mortal sin 

Sal plays acoustic and the gal plays electric 

And sometimes they hold hands 

And late at night you can hear them playin' 

Up on the mountain 

Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks 

That's where you'll find me 

Gonna leave this worrisome world 

And it's troubles behind me 

Up on the mountain, where the light breaks 

That's where I'll be 

I've barely got time to finish this song 

So say farewell to me
