I've Endured
Born in the mountains Many years ago I’ve climbed these hills and valleys Thought the rain and snow I’ve seen the lighting flashing And heard the thunder roll I’ve endured, I’ve endured How long must one endure Barefoot in the summer and on into the fall Too many mouths to feed they Couldn’t clothe us all Went to pray on Fridays to Learn the golden rule I’ve endured, I’ve endured How long must one endure I’ve worked for the rich and I’ve Live with the poor I’ve seen many heartaches and I’ll see many more I’ve lived loved and sorrowed Been through successes door I’ve endured, I’ve endured How long must one endure I’ve endured, I’ve endured How long must one endure Born in the mountains Many years ago I’ve climbed these hills and valleys Thought the rain and snow I’ve seen the lighting flashing And heard the thunder roll I’ve endured, I’ve endured How long must one endure I’ve endured, I’ve endured How long must one endure
