DON MCLEAN
"Over The Mountains"
(Irene Stanton / Wayne Walker)

I'm always light-hearted and easy
Not a care in this world have I
Because I am loved by an Ollie
And I couldn't forget if I try.

She lives far away o'er the mountains
Where the little birds sing on the trees
And the cabin's all covered with ivy
And the Ollie is waiting for me.

The day I said goodbye to Allie
Is a day I will never forget
For the tears bubbled up from their slumber
I fancy I see them yet.

They looked like the pearls in the ocean
As she wept her tale of love
And she said my dear boy, don't forget me
Till we meet here again or above.
