[Verse 1]
There are lots of girls in the mountains
And they're worth their weight in gold
When they're in my arms with their loving charms
A treasure chest I hold
[Chorus]
Well there's gold in the mountains, love in the hills
I don't need no city women with their diamonds and frills
There's gold in the mountains and oh what scenery
The prettiest girls I ever did see
[Verse 2]
There's such beauty there in the mountains
You can feel your knees growing weak
Every single boy feels the height of joy
When he climbs that mountain peak
[Chorus] [x2]
I said there's gold in the mountains, love in the hills
I don't need no city women with their diamonds and frills
There's gold in the mountains and oh what scenery
The prettiest girls I ever did see
I ever did see
I ever did see
There are lots of girls in the mountains
And they're worth their weight in gold
When they're in my arms with their loving charms
A treasure chest I hold
[Chorus]
Well there's gold in the mountains, love in the hills
I don't need no city women with their diamonds and frills
There's gold in the mountains and oh what scenery
The prettiest girls I ever did see
[Verse 2]
There's such beauty there in the mountains
You can feel your knees growing weak
Every single boy feels the height of joy
When he climbs that mountain peak
[Chorus] [x2]
I said there's gold in the mountains, love in the hills
I don't need no city women with their diamonds and frills
There's gold in the mountains and oh what scenery
The prettiest girls I ever did see
I ever did see
I ever did see
