about

The opening track, “Down the Mountain” starts with a powerful bluesy slide stomp, but later begs, “send my prayers down the river in little paper boats, they’re too heavy for heaven so I hope they float”.

lyrics

DOWN THE MOUNTAIN
By Abbie Gardner (Gimmie Some Ribs Music, administered by Modern Works, ASCAP)

Take my trouble down the mountain, can’t carry it no more
take my trouble down the mountain, can’t carry it no more
throw that trouble down the mountain, can’t carry it no more
trouble weighed me down so long

My Daddy was a miner, dug Kentucky coal
My Daddy was a miner, dug Kentucky coal
Now he’s buried ‘neath the mountain, God rest his soul
Trouble weighed him down so long

Send my prayers down river, in little paper boats
Send my prayers down river, in little paper boats
They’re too heavy for heaven, so I hope they float
Troubled weighed me down so long

Take my trouble down the mountain, can’t carry it no more
take my trouble down the mountain, can’t carry it no more
throw that trouble down the mountain, can’t carry it no more
trouble weighed me down so long
