James King - Echo mountain

Now ^Cup on echo mountain In the spring of ^F32 J^Cim and Becky Johnson With a b^G7ible and a mule Set o^Cut to raise a family But the babies didn't c^Fome So w^Chen they found that old stray hound They lo^G7ved him like a s^Con

But so^Con their prayers were answered The baby had his momma's e^Fyes How t^Chat old dog loved him He would n^G7ever leave his side They could al^Cways trust that faithful hound With the baby they all l^Foved 'till the d^Cay child was missing And the ^G7dog was drenched in blood

Now the c^Fries on echo mountain Are a painful thing to h^Cear

For the Joh^G7nson's bitter tears When a m^Can don't use good judgment It's the innocent who p^Fay Now the c^Cries on echo mountain Will ha^G7unt me to this d^Cay

Jim pi^Ccked up his rifle He shot and killed the ho^Fund But th^Cere inside the cabin Was the b^G7aby safe and sound When they fo^Cund the backdoor open And two wolves lying st^Fill They k^Cnew they'd made a grave mistake With the ri^G7ghteous blood they spi^Clled

Now ^Cup on echo mountain You'll find a lonesome gr^Fave Marked w^Cith a handmade marble stone that reads G^G7od bless the brave When da^Cddy tells the story Of the dog that saved my l^Fife He al^Cways asks forgiveness And the t^G7ears still fill his e^Cyes

Now the c^Fries on echo mountain Are a painful thing to h^Cear

For the Jo^G7hnson's bitter tears When a m^Can don't use good judgment It's the innocent who ^Fpay Now the cr^Cies on echo mountain Will h^G7aunt me to this d^Cay

When a m^Can don't use good judgment It's the innocent who p^Fay Now the cr^Cies on echo mountain Will ha^G7unt me to this d^Cay
