Verse 1:
G C G F
Every day is a gamble, if you really want to make it through
G C G D G
When you live on the side of the mountain, and the babies all need food
G C G F
I was the youngest one among us, I got sick and would not eat
G C G D G
Daddy prayed accept his fate, but Mommy would not heed
Chorus:
C G G F
Carry me across the mountain, before it is too late

Heal my broken my body, death not be my fate
C G G F
Carry me across the mountain, don't give up on me
C G D G
I am but a helpless child, whose life depends on thee

Verse 2:
G C G F
Daddy warned against it, said you may not make it through
G C G D G
Momma wrapped me in her arms, crying what else can I do
G C G F
There is a place across the mountain top, across the mountain side
G C G D G
They say there is a doctor there, might save our baby's life
Chorus:
C G G F
Carry me across the mountain, before it is too late

Heal my broken my body, death not be my fate

And every year I visit here, to thank her for that day
