Verse
C# G# C#
Well I was born in a manger in Texas
F# G#
All the pintos and paints come round
C# F# C# A#m
My days there were troubled and restless
C# G# C#
All the bad news that I looked for, I found
C# G# C#
My welcome wore thin down in Texas
F# G#
For reasons you probably know
C# F# C# A#m
So I roped and I broke and I rambled too
C# G# C#
To where the sage and the pinon grow
[Chorus]
C# G# C#
Blue mountain, you're azure deep
F# G#
Blue mountain, your sides are steep
C# F# C# A#m
Blue mountain with a horse head on your side
C# G# A#m
You stolen my love to keep
C# G# C#
You stolen my love to keep
[Verse]
C# G# C#
Now I chug with ol’ Attago Gordon
F# G#
I drink at the blue goose salooon
C# F# C# A#m
And I dance all night with the mormon girls
C# G# C#
Ride home our way lit by the moon
C# G# C#
Here is a snake in the rainbow
F# G#
And here is the balsom and bow
C# F# C# A#m
And here are the ladders of light up to heaven
C# G# C#
But blue mountain is all I need now
[Chorus]
C# G# C#
Blue mountain, you're azure deep
F# G#
Blue mountain, your sides are steep
C# F# C# A#m
Blue mountain with a horse head on your side
C# G# A#m
You stolen my love to keep
C# G# C#
You stolen my love to keep
[Verse]
C# G# C#
Oh, what kind of cut purse is the evening
F# G#
To scatter her diamonds behind
C# F# C# A#m
We're all given a first and a last love
C# G# C#
And blue mountain will be both of mine
[Chorus]
C# G# C#
Blue mountain, you're azure deep
F# G#
Blue mountain, your sides are steep
C# F# C# A#m
Blue mountain with a horse head on your side
C# G# A#m
You stolen my love to keep
C# G# C#
You stolen my love to keep
