Lyrics
I’ll be waiting on the western side / Brother if you wan’a catch a ride
To the weary worlds sighted end / And the land of Black Mountain
VERSE 1 - I am just a son of man, trapped here in a shackled land
Broken back and busted hands, all at the foot of Black Mountain
I am just a son of man, seems I got nothing but I got plans
Doing all the work I can, to break free from the teeth of Black Mountain
Oh now brother I’ve made up my mind
Soon we will leave this yoke of ours behind
And that’s fine
CHORUS - Gotta get away from here, from Black Mountain
VERSE 2 - Son of man, son of man, do all the work you can
To head west from this dark land and the shadow of Black Mountain
Oh now brother I’ve made up my mind
Soon we’ll follow the sun in the western sky
And that’s fine
(CHORUS)
VERSE 3 - I’ll be waiting on the western side / Brother if you wan’a catch a ride
To the weary worlds sighted end / And from the land of black mountain
All the boys ain’t sure what they’ve become / Since they tried to hide where they come from
And there ain’t no shame in the things I’ve done / To take me and mine from this Black Mountain
Gotta run to western sun
Gotta run ’til the work is done
Gotta run like hell away from
The Black Mountain
(Which side are you on boys, which side are you on
Which side are you on boys, which side are you on)
