Kenan Flannery

I’ve worked for too long 
I taste nothing but salt on my tongue  
And the meanness inside 
Of my stubborn mind 
Has led me along 
So wrong 

Through the rivers  
Dried up for years 
And the districts 
Of sorrow and tears 
And I’ve nothing to sell  
But this coat that I bare 
And I can’t because it’s been raining 
For years 

My one and my only 
Please don’t cry 
Cause I’m going  
Where the sun forever shines 

Right at the top  
Of Camaderry mountain 
Is where I’ll be for a while 

And I’ve worked till I’ve ached in my bones 
And I wish I had a place to call my own 
Established in time 
With my bloodline 
Infused with the land that I own 

See the land for miles 
Treetops and hills that stand high 
Right at the top of Camaderry mountain 
The land with nothing to hide 

My one and my only 
Please don’t cry 
Cause I’m going  
Where the sun forever shines 

Right at the top  
Of Camaderry mountain 
Is where I’ll be for a while 

My one and my only 
Please don’t cry 
Cause I’m going  
Where the sun forever shines 

Right at the top  
Of Camaderry mountain 
Where my heart sits 
On a memory of her smile 

Right at the top  
Of Camaderry mountain 
Is where I’ll be for a while
