(Verse 1)
Up in the hills where the laurel blooms,
Where the shadows dance in the afternoon,
There's a cabin small, built with care,
And a mountain man with a heart to share.

(Chorus)
Oh, the high lonesome wind, it does blow,
Through the pines and the valleys below,
It whispers of love, it whispers of pain,
In the Appalachian mountain rain.

(Verse 2)
He plays his banjo by the firelight,
Songs of sorrow, songs of fight,
His voice as clear as the mountain stream,
Echoes of dreams, lost and seen.

(Chorus)
Oh, the high lonesome wind, it does blow,
Through the pines and the valleys below,
It carries the tunes, it carries the strain,
In the Appalachian mountain rain.

(Bridge)
There’s a story told in every line,
Of love that's gone and love that's mine,
The mountain air, so crisp and thin,
Where the heart of man can still begin.

(Verse 3)
He walks the trails, his mind at peace,
Where the wildflowers grow, and the cares decrease,
With every step, a memory's made,
In the silent woods where shadows wade.

(Chorus)
Oh, the high lonesome wind, it does blow,
Through the pines and the valleys below,
It tells of the past, it tells of the gain,
In the Appalachian mountain rain.

(Outro)
Now the night falls, the stars appear,
And the mountain man, he feels so near,
To the heart of life, to the soul's refrain,
Under the Appalachian mountain rain.

Appalachian Mountain Rain

This is heavy. But writing it was therapeutic.

Oklahoma born and bred.
I’m an author and love writing lyrics too.
The ultimate goal is to find homes for my songs with country artists—established and new to the game.
