Oh I’m going ‘round that green icy mountain
Mountain Mountain
Oh I’m going ‘round that green icy mountain
If I don’t take sick and die
Oh I’m going ‘round to see my lover
Lover lover
Oh I’m going ‘round to see my lover
If I don’t take sick and die
Oh he told me that he loved me
Loved me loved me
Oh he told me that he loved me
And he would until he died
And he threw his arms around me
‘Round me, ‘round me
Oh he threw his arms around me
Like a grapevine around a gum
And I threw my arms around him,
‘Round him, ‘round him
And I threw my arms around him
Like a circle around the sun
