The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Lowlands lyrics

(GUITAR INTRO) I heard a song that was taught to a baby And it made the mountain sing I knew a gift that was given to my lady It was hidden in a dream And there's a light in the lowlands And a river that runs so clean I'm a poor man feelin' lazy And the lowlands are callin' my name (hymnal-like chant) I knew a man who said he was a stranger 'cause his heart he could not trust I knew a man who could not face the dangers Even though he knew he must And it's hard in the lowlands And the gra**es will turn to rust But the sun is a fountain Flowing through the lowland's dust
