i am a mountain lady woman
\n i got mountain lady feet
\n i was born in muddy waters
\n hot,
\n sticky,
\n troubled,
\n deep <\/p>\n
i washed up on the mountainside
\n only half alive
\n with one foot still in ether-land
\n the other to survive <\/p>\n
i was forged by thunder clap
\n by naked fire in the sand
\n and will return from whence i came
\n but not before i stand <\/p>\n
i was left here by the lightening
\n to remember, to grow old
\n to forget the stories taught me
\n and unbind the ones untold <\/p>\n
i am a mountain lady woman
\n i got mountain lady feet
\n i was born in muddy waters
\n hot,
\n sticky,
\n troubled,
\n deep <\/p>\n
i am a mountain lady woman
\n i got mountain lady feet
\n they may crack and bleed and burn
\n but they never yield to heat <\/p>\n
i am a mountain lady woman
\n i got mountain lady feet
\n and they can only dance with danger
\n with my anger as their meat <\/p>\n
i’m as steady as the ocean bed
\n my mountain nestles in
\n i’m the torrent wave that shakes and quakes
\n the rusty boat within <\/p>\n
my mountain lady feet
\n have made my mountain lady thighs
\n i have mountain lady sorrows
\n i have mountain lady spies<\/p>\n
i am a mountain lady woman
\n i got mountain lady feet
\n i was born in muddy waters
\n hot,
\n sticky,
\n troubled,
\n deep <\/p>\n
i climbed up the mountain
\n just to see what i could see
\n and all i found besides the wind
\n was the light
\n the earth
\n and me<\/p>\n
so i sojourn in the valley
\n to find a good story to tell
\n and for anyone who holds me
\n i’m the water in the well <\/p>\n
i am daughter to the storm
\n i am mother to the cloud
\n though my journey be a stealth one
\n by my meaning i am loud <\/p>\n
i am shelter for the tender
\n though i burn away the night
\n by the soles upon my feet
\n i live to set the souls abright <\/p>\n
this is the legend as it is told
\n the story before time
\n and by rule of legend telling
\n i am declared in rhyme <\/p>\n
but the skin that binds me to a name
\n a body, to a face
\n is too tired to remain
\n in this god forsaken place. <\/p>\n
i will wither and obey the tide
\n when i return to shore
\n with my last breath and word
\n i shall settle every score
\n with my last breath and word
\n i ain’t gonna worry no more<\/p>\n
i am a mountain lady woman
\n i got mountain lady feet
\n i was born in muddy waters
\n hot,
\n sticky,
\n troubled,
\n deep <\/p>\n
