Paroles: Dr. Hook. Up on the Mountain.

Sal from the Valley, loved Al from the Alley
And they lived in harmony
Sally played acoustic and Al he played electric
And they both took turns on lead

They sang for their friends again and again
Of the places they have been
But their favorite song of all was called
Up on the mountain

Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks
That's where you'll find me
Gonna leave this worrisome world
And it's troubles behind me

Up on the mountain, where the light breaks
That's where I'll be
I've barely got time to finish this song
So say farewell to me

Then into the valley came a gal from the galley
With a strange and smilin' face
Al played acoustic and Sally played electric
And the gal played a hell of a bass

And when they sang their harmonies
The lady dipped right in
She soon moved in and lived with them
Up on the mountain

Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks
That's where you'll find me
Gonna leave this worrisome world
And it's troubles behind me

Up on the mountain, where the light breaks
That's where I'll be
I've barely got time to finish this song
So say farewell to me

Now Al from the Alley, has gone from the Valley
A sadder but wiser man
And Sally from the Valley and the gal from the galley
They lived in mortal sin

Sal plays acoustic and the gal plays electric
And sometimes they hold hands
And late at night you can hear them playin'
Up on the mountain

Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks
That's where you'll find me
Gonna leave this worrisome world
And it's troubles behind me

Up on the mountain, where the light breaks
That's where I'll be
I've barely got time to finish this song
So say farewell to me
