A Hundred Mountains - Jackie Lomax

A dozen men from Arkansas swore to bring me in

Through the office of the law they persecute my kin

I have left a hundred mountains way behind

An' I do believe it’s countin' on my mind

I can go no further I declare I had my fill

I can go no further I’m gonna wait by the whisky still

I robbed a man who robbed the dead well before their time

Anyone with half a head can see that ain’t no crime

I have left a hundred mountains in my past

An' I do believe my time is comin' fast

I can go no further I declare I had my fill

I can go no further I’m gonna wait by the whisky still

(He can go no further) I swear I had my fill

(He can go no further) I’m gonna wait by the whisky still

They shot my leg to pieces, ya know I near enough bled to death

If not for the horse between us I’d still be lyin' there yet

I have mastered many mountains at my best

An' I do believe it’s time for me to rest

I can go no further I declare I had my fill

I can go no further I’m gonna wait by the whisky still

(He can go no further) I swear I’ve had my fill

(He can go no further) I’m gonna wait here for the kill
