Do you go down

On the side of Sugar Mountain?

When leaves are brown

And the sunlight splits the sky

I have found that

The sea breeze tears at the ocean

And I hope somebody

Will love me 'fore I die



Oh willow, weep no more my lady

Though the days are long and lazy

And the sun sets heavy on the sky

Weep no more, I'm homeward bound

I'm gonna tear this mountain down

You're gonna be somebody bye and bye



Sugar Mountain trees are made of candy

And the sun drips honey in your eyes

Every fountain's water tastes like brandy

And I know somebody

Will love me 'fore I die



Oh willow, weep no more my lady

Though the days are long and lazy

And the sun sets heavy on the sky

Weep no more, I'm homeward bound

I'm gonna tear this mountain down

You're gonna be somebody bye and bye



Sugar Mountain lovers taste like honey

And their lips like elderberry wine

Every other stranger pales and withers

And I hope somebody

Will love me 'fore I die



Oh willow, weep no more my lady

Though the days are long and lazy

And the sun sets heavy on the sky

Weep no more, I'm homeward bound

I'm gonna tear this mountain down

You're gonna be somebody bye and bye
