作曲：Kris Kristofferson

I was born on Stagger Mountain

in the sunshine and the snow

And leavin' was the first mistake I made

But I hungered for the shadows

in the valley down below

And the girl

that danced the tune the devil played

Her smile was like

the blindin' light of sunshine

on the snow

And the flashin' of her hair

was black as sin

And her body

set the smokes of hell a-boilin' in my skull

When the fiddle of the devil made her spin

Morning sunshine sunshine

high on the mountain

Where the air is pure and cold

But there's darkness in the shadows

In the canyons of my soul

The lantern cast a shadow

like a demon on the wall

And the naked sweat

was breathin' on her skin

Then the room was spinning closer

as her clothes began to fall

And the eagle started

screamin' in my brain

Then I saw the laughin' dagger

and I heard the devil scream

And her bleeding heart

was beating in my hand

Then the darkness blew away

and I was standin' by a tree

With a hanging

rope a-danglin' from a limb

Morning sunshine sunshin

high on the mountain

Where the air is pure and cold

But there's darkness in the shadows

In the canyons of my soul
