End on C.




            F/C                C
Oh she said leave me and then let me go
            F/C                C
Yeah in the morning oh there I go
            F/C                     C
Back to the days where I come from
F/C                 C
Sweet kisses to you my love

And over the mountains you go
To where the rivers are so bright and bold
And the mountains are hundreds
Yes the snow goes and melts under my skin

Oh see the birds sing, the bees
As they go bow down there on their knees
As their honey is all filled with gold
Yeah, from the silver flowers laying on the road

Oh and if you should go afar
I will not go steal you from the stars
No I just watched the way you go
And send sweet kisses that way, to you my love

Oh yeah and eventually it all turns to fire
I will just go hold it to my heart
And drown it in the cold
Sweet kisses I held for you my love

And all these letters I do address
Just to see what sort of man I will be next
As my footprints are laid up on the road
Yeah where the silver flowers grow

Oh yes because to be your lover I do accept
And to love you I am going to have to step (?)
I just wanna hold you so close
And run around and run around all by myself

So if you should go afar
I will not go steal you from the stars
No I just watch which way you go
And send sweet kisses that way to you my love

And as the great poet spills wine on the evening stars
Oh yes I'll go
With a little scroggin in my pocket oh
Oh yeah I'll go
Along the silver flowers and the winding rivers oh
Oh, yeah I'll go
Into the high country, old cockle oh
Oh yes I'll go

To the highest mountain, oh, to the highest mountain
Where I can see which way you go low
To the highest mountain, oh, to the highest mountain
Oh where my kisses can be blown
To the highest mountain, oh, to the highest mountain
Yeah where my kisses can be blown
