over the mountain
People strain a lot Stretch their brains a lot To play their way to immortality Some of them are very smart And trying awfully hard To make their mark and last eternally Seems there ain't no people Dumb enough to see  The sky is full of hawks Who say that money talks And only the rich are really free They tell you that the fact of life Is that you have to fight For every cold hard coin that you can see Well, there ain't no money Soft enough for me  Now there is a mountain It's big and it's wide And nobody knows What's on the other side Oh, some people are curious And some are afraid But they're goin' over that mountain Any old way  Over the mountain Over the mountain Over the mountain Over the mountain  Sometimes it rains And sometimes it shines The mountain she's sitting there All of the time It's handsome as Jesus And ugly as sin You can stand on the outside But you can't get in  Over the mountain Over the mountain Over the mountain Over the mountain  Now Boo was a man Who did as he pleased He didn't want to be like you And he didn't want to be like me Oh, a good man of heart, Boo He threw out the laws And flew over the mountain Like Santa Claus  Over the mountain Over the mountain Over the mountain Over the mountain
