This Mountain Man's Heart

[Verse 1] Sunrise paints the peaks on fire, another day to roam My mule named Clementine and I, we make this mountain our home Got my bag full of peanuts, jerky cured just right Sweets to tempt the sweetest tooth, beneath the mountain light [Chorus] But all these treats and treasures pale, next to the sight I see Jennifer, with eyes like sapphires, waitin' down by the aspen tree She runs the general store below, a smile that melts the snow This mountain man's heart, it beats for her, wherever I may go [Verse 2] She buys my almonds, cashews too, a gentle touch, a fleeting glance Leaves me dreamin' of fireflies, and waltzin' by a mountain chance I ain't no poet, words get stuck, like pebbles in my beard But Jennifer, my heart knows true, you're all I ever yearned [Chorus] These treats and treasures pale next to, the sight I see Jennifer, with eyes like sapphires, waitin' down by the aspen tree She runs the general store below, a smile that melts the snow This mountain man's heart, it beats for her, wherever I may go [Bridge] Maybe someday I'll find the words, to tell her what she means A love as wild as mountain winds, a dream beyond these scenes [Chorus] These treats and treasures pale next to, the sight I see Jennifer, with e (Chorus) These treats and treasures pale next to, the sight I see Jennifer, with eyes like sapphires, waitin' down by the aspen tree She runs the general store below, a smile that melts the snow This mountain man's heart, it beats for her, wherever I may go (Outro) Yeah, this mountain man's heart, it beats for her, wherever I may go For Jennifer, my mountain rose, the sweetest treat I know
