You Gave Me a Mountain
Born in the heat of the desert
My mother died givin' me life
Deprived of the love of a father
Blamed for the loss of his wife
You know, Lord, I've been in a prison
For something that I've never done
It's been one hill after another
But I've climbed them all, one by one
But this time, Lord, you gave me a mountain
A mountain I may never climb
And is isn't a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
My woman tired of the hardships
Tired of the grief and the strife
So tired of workin' for nothin'
Tired of bein' my wife
She took my one ray of sunshine
She took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for livin'
She took my small baby boy
So this time, Lord, you gave me a mountain
A mountain I may never climb
And is isn't a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
Me diste una montaña
Nacido en el calor del desierto
Mi madre murió dándome la vida
Privados del amor de un padre
Culpado por la pérdida de su esposa
Sabes, Señor, he estado en una prisión
Por algo que nunca he hecho
Ha sido una colina tras otra
Pero los he escalado a todos, uno por uno
Pero esta vez, Señor, me diste una montaña
Una montaña a la que nunca subo
Y ya no es una colina
Esta vez me diste una montaña
Mi mujer cansada de las dificultades
Cansado del dolor y la lucha
Estoy cansado de trabajar para nada
Cansado de ser mi esposa
Ella tomó mi único rayo de sol
Ella tomó mi orgullo y mi alegría
Tomó mi razón para vivir
Se llevó a mi pequeño niño
Así que esta vez, Señor, me diste una montaña
Una montaña a la que nunca subo
Y ya no es una colina
Esta vez me diste una montaña
