High on the Mountain Words and Music by Mark Neihart ©2013 Dancing Deer, llc When you’re high, on the mountain Mandolin strums easy and a guitar starts to play And you’re high, on the mountain High spirits festival, come take us all away And it’s Oh, oh oh oh oh it’s oh so beautiful And it’s Oh, oh oh oh oh so very fine When you’re high, on the mountain A rhapsody of color splashed across the bright blue sky And you’re high, on the mountain High up in Telluride with music on your mind And it’s Oh, oh oh oh oh it’s oh so beautiful And it’s Oh, oh oh oh oh so very fine When you’re high, on the mountain Barefoot girls are dancing in a meadow down below. And you’re high, on the mountain Chance to take it easy, yes a chance to take it slow And it’s Oh, oh oh oh oh it’s oh so beautiful And it’s Oh, oh oh oh oh so very fine When you’re high, on the mountain Mandolin strums easy and a guitar starts to play And you’re high, on the mountain High spirits festival come take us all away
