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