Medicine Springs lyrics

Well I wandered way back in the mountains
I was searching for fortune and fame
I found where the water runs deep from the hills
They call it the medicine springs
They call it the medicine springs

It was there that I met a fair maiden
Yellow hair and big eyes of blue
She told me one day she loved only me
That she`d forever be true
That she`d forever be true

Well I wanted the best for my darlin`
But my pockets were empty and bare
My love was so great for that starlett of mine
I took what another man had
I took what another man had

As I sit here alone in this jailhouse
With a letter I can`t hardly read
It said my darlin` has left this ol` world
She`s a waitin` in heaven for me
She`s a waitin` in heaven for me

Some day I`ll go back to the mountains
Where I`ll spend the rest of my days
And the water that runs frome the side of the hill
Will water her flowery grave
Will water her flowery grave
