echo mountain - cedar hill lyrics
[verse 1]
up on echo mountain in the spring of ’32
jim and becky johnson, with a bible and a mule
set out to raise a family, the babies didn’t come
so when they found that old stray hound dog
they loved him like a son
[verse 2]
oh, well, soon their prayers were answered
he had his mama’s eyes
and how that old dog loved him
and would never leave his side
they could always trust that faithful hound
with the baby, they all loved
’til the day the child went missing
and the dog was drenched in blood
[chorus]
now the cries on echo mountain are a painful thing to hear
and the neighbors know the reason for the johnsons’ bitter tears
when a man don’t use good judgement, it’s the innocent who pay
now the cries on echo mountain, they haunt me to this day
[verse 3]
jim picked up his rifle, shot and k!lled the hound
but there inside the cabin, was the baby safe and sound
when they found the back door open
there were two wolves lying still
they knew they’d made a grave mistake
with the righteous blood they spilled
[chorus]
now up on echo mountain, you’ll find a lonesome grave
marked with a handmade marble stone that reads: “god bless the brave”
when daddy tells the story of the dog that saved my life
he always asks forgiveness, and the tears still fill his eyes
[chorus]
now the cries on echo mountain are a painful thing to hear
and the neighbors know the reason for the johnsons’ bitter tears
when a man don’t use good judgement, it’s the innocent who pay
now the cries on echo mountain, they haunt me to this day
