Virgin On The Mountain

Virgin on the mountain high upon the Butte
Up above dark mines deeper than tree roots
Protect our children, make warm their beds
Light the path our feet have led
Virgin on the mountain

Virgin on the mountain watching over us
Shelter us in your joyful touch
You are the fountain for all to share
Holy lady hear our sad prayer
Virgin on the mountain

Virgin on the mountain you nurture me
When I was blind you helped me see
You saved my soul, you washed away my tears
And sent me on my way to conquer my fears
Virgin on the mountain
Virgin on the mountain

(Guitar solo)

The gateway to the mine looks like hell to me
But I work in darkness to keep my children free
All I ask of you, hold up the walls of the mine
And bring me home safely to again be with mine
Virgin on the mountain
Virgin on the mountain
Virgin on the mountain
Virgin on the mountain
