COWPIE Country Music Lyrics
haggard merle
high on a hilltop
# HIGH ON A HILLTOP Recorded by Merle Haggard Words and music by Tommy Collins [D] High on a hilltop over-[G] looking the [D] city I can see the [A7] bright lights as they [D] gleam [A7] And [D] somewhere you're dancing in [G] some dingy [D] barroom And the lure of the gayness takes the [A7] place of our [D] dream. CHORUS [G] High on a hilltop my heart cries, Oh [D] Lord Forgive her she knows not the [A7] way And [D] give me the power to be-[G] lieve and some [D] day High on a hilltop to-[A7] gether we'll [D] pray. I can vision a rounder with a line so smooth And a promise of riches for you But you see not the danger, 'cause you're silly with booze And high on a hilltop I see the devil win you.
