"Blue Mountain" lyrics - BOB WEIR

[Chorus:]
Blue mountain, you're azure deep
Blue mountain, your sides are steep
Blue mountain, with a horse head on your side
You've stolen my love to keep
You've stolen my love to keep

Well, I was born in a manger in Texas
All the doggies and paints come round
My days there were trouble and restless
All the bad news here I looked for I've found
Well, my welcome wore thin down in Texas
For reasons you probably know
So I roped, and I broke, and I rambled too
Where the sage and the pinions grow

[Chorus]

Now I chummed up with Latico Gordon
I drank at the Blue Goose Saloon
And I dance all night with the Mormon girls
Ride home, my way lit by the moon
And oh, here is a snake in the rainbow
And here is the balsam in boughs
And here are the ladders of light up to heaven
Blue mountain is all I need now

[Chorus]

Oh, what kind of cutpurse is the evening?
To scatter her diamonds behind?
We're all given the first and the last love
And blue mountain will be both of mine

[Chorus 2x]
