A Mountaineer Is Always Free

    Bb
I'm one of the few, proud to be 
standing
  F
I walked up the pier from the coffin
 ships landing
   Bb
My clothes were just rags, no use in
 this weather
    F
But my back was strong, my hands 
tough as leather
  C                             F 
I climbed up these hills till I 
                       C
came to the spot where I stand
  C                          F    
I cleared these fields and I 
                        C
pulled up the stumps with my hands

[Chorus]
Bb                          
No more a wanderer, no more a 
      F
refugee
  C                     F
A mountaineer is always free

[Verse 2]
       Bb
Took a Cherokee bride, she gave me 
five babies
  F
I sang at the wakes, I cried at the 
weddings
  Bb
I taught all my children the songs 
of my youth
   F
To dance to the fiddle and practice 
the truth
   C                    F         
I carried them up on my shoulders 
                    C
to where they could see
    C                       F     
The whole world before them just 
                          C
so they would know what it means

[Chorus]
Bb                          
No more a wanderer, no more a 
      F
refugee
  C                     F
A mountaineer is always free

[Verse Stub]
   C                         F    
No kings and no landlords to treat
                     C
 us like beggars and thieves
           C                   F  
There's no one but God here to 
                     C
fear or to look down on me

[Chorus]
Bb                          
No more a wanderer, no more a 
       F
refugee
  C                     F
A mountaineer is always free
