Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu Wise Woman Oleh Caroline Herring

INTRO: C G F C (4x)

CHORUS:

I went up to the mountain
And I came back a wise woman
Went to the river, came back wiser still
Only to see, you’re as dear to me as the air I breathe
Won’t you meet me at that mansion on the hill

Stuffed your mattress and wove your sheets
Patched your blanket, piece by piece
If the lord had granted me a choice, I’d a held up my hand
We ground the corn, moulded lard and lye
Had ten children and watched four die
I’ll stand beside you when you meet the promised land

CHORUS:

Because I went up to the mountain
And I came back a wise woman
Went to the river, came back wiser still
Only to see, you’re as dear to me as the air I breathe
Won’t you meet me at that mansion on the hill

INSTRUMENTAL: F C F C F G C F C F C F G C

Danced to the fiddle on a Saturday night
And chopped the cotton before daylight
The sun don’t go down on a poor man’s woes
But my love, if you don’t meet the dawn
I promise you, I’ll carry on
Singing, ‘Precious Memories’, as I plant along the rows

CHORUS:

Because I went up to the mountain
And I came back a wise woman
Went to the river, came back wiser still
Only to see, you’re as dear to me as the air I breathe
Won’t you meet me at that mansion on the hill
Won’t you meet me at the mansion on the hill
Won’t you meet me at the mansion on the hill
