Lyrics

Cold mountain water, the jade merchant's daughter
Mountains of the moon, electra bow and bend to me
Hi ho the carrion crow fol de rol de riddle
Hi ho the carrion crow bow and bend to me

Hey, tom banjo hey a laurel, more than laurel you may sow
More than laurel you may sow
Hey, the laurel, hey the city in the rain
Hey, hey, hey the wild wheat waving in the wind

Twenty degrees of solitude, twenty degrees in all
All the dancing kings and wives assembled in the hall
Lost is the long and loneliest town fairy sybil flying
All along the, all along the mountains of the moon

Hey, tom banjo it's time to matter
The earth will see you on through this time
The earth will see you on through this time

Down by the water, the marsh king's daughter, did you know?
Clothed in tatters always will be. tom, where did you go?

Mountains of the moon, electra, mountains of the moon
All along the, all along the mountains of the moon

Hi ho the carrion crow fol de rol de riddle
Hi ho the carrion crow bow and bend to me
Bend to me. na da da da da da da da da da da da
