I was born in a manger in Texas
The doggies and paints come round
My days there were troubled and restless
All the trouble I looked for, I found
My welcome wore thin, down in Texas
For reasons you won't want to know
Well I roped and I rocked and I rambled
To where the sage and the pinon do grow
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
