Big mountain, wide river There’s an ancient pull These tree trunks, these stream beds Leave our bellies full
They sing out: I am going to stand my ground You rise to me and I’ll blow you down I am going to stand my ground You rise to me and I’ll blow you down
Hey Henry can you hear me? Let me see those eyes This distance between us Can seem a mountain size
But boy: You are going to stand your ground They rise to you, you blow them down Let me see you stand your ground If they rise to you, you blow them down
My darling, my sweetheart I am in your sway To cold climes comes springtime So let me hear you say
My love: I am going to stand my ground They rise to me and I’ll blow them down I am going to stand my ground They rise to me and I’ll blow them down
