Down On Filbert's Rise Lyrics


Up on the double divide
Down on Filberts RiseI chanced to meet a city girl
With clear blue sparklin' eyesI see those eyes
Down on Filberts RiseFirst morning, I did see her
Comin' in from the west
Storm clouds on the mountain
And tears all down her breastTears a fallin'
Down on Filberts RiseUp on the double divide
Down on Filberts Rise
Down on Filberts Rise
Down on Filberts RiseFull well, I knew her sorrow
Was no concern of mine
But as I took her in my arms
My own heart soon did pineHearts in sorrow
Down on Filberts RiseUp on the double divide
Down on Filberts Rise
Down on Filberts Rise
Down on Filberts RiseWild horses and wild rivers

Run circles around the sun
I see her in the days and nights
As they blend into oneI see her in the moonlight and in the starry skies
Some times I even swear I see her
Down on Filberts Rise
I see those eyes
Down on Filberts RiseI see her in the moonlight and in the starry skies
Some time I even swear I see her
Down on filberts rise
I see those eyes
Down on filberts rise
