[ Featuring Jerry Douglas, Bryan Sutton ]
Born in the mountains
Many years ago
I've climbed these hills and valleys
Thought the rain and snow
I've seen the lighting flashing
Cnd heard the thunder roll
I've endured, I've endured
How long must one endure
Barefoot in the summer and on into the fall
Too many mouths to feed they
Couldn't clothe us all
Went to pray on Fridays to
Learn the golden rule
I've endured, I've endured
How long must one endure
I've worked for the rich and I've
Live with the poor
I've seen many heartaches and
I'll see many more
I've lived loved and sorrowed
Been through successes door
I've endured, I've endured
How long must one endure
I've endured, I've endured
How long must one endure
Born in the mountains
Many years ago
I've climbed these hills and valleys
Thought the rain and snow
I've seen the lighting flashing
Cnd heard the thunder roll
I've endured, I've endured
How long must one endure
I've endured, I've endured
How long must one endure
