Laura Veirs - Mountains of the Moon Lyrics

Cold mountain water
Jade Merchant's daughter
Mountains of the moon
Electra, bow and bend to me
Hi ho, the carrion crow
Fol de rol de riddle
Hi ho, the carrion crow
Bow and bend to me

Hey, Tom Banjo,
Hey a laurel
More than laurel you may sow
More than laurel you may sow
Hey, the laurel, hey the city in the rain
Hey, hey, hey, the wild wheat
Waving in the wind

Here's a feast of solitude
Fiddler grim and tall
All the dancing kings and wives
Assembled in the hall
Lost is the long and loneliest town
Fairy sybil flying
All along the
All along the mountains of the moon

Hey, Tom Banjo
It's time to matter
The Earth will see you on through this time
The Earth will see you on through this time
Down by the water
Marsh king's daughter did you know?
Clothed in tatters always will be
Tom, where did you go?

Mountains of the moon
Electra, mountains of the moon
All along the
All along the mountains of the moon
Hi ho, the carrion crow
Fol de rol de riddle
Hi ho, the carrion crow
Bow and bend to me

Bend to me
