Down on Filberts Rise Songtext
von The Flatlanders

Up on the double divide
Down on Filberts Rise

I chanced to meet a city girl
With clear blue sparklin′ eyes

I see those eyes
Down on Filberts Rise

First morning, I did see her
Comin' in from the west
Storm clouds on the mountain
And tears all down her breast

Tears a fallin′
Down on Filberts Rise

Up on the double divide
Down on Filberts Rise
Down on Filberts Rise
Down on Filberts Rise


Full well, I knew her sorrow
Was no concern of mine
But as I took her in my arms
My own heart soon did pine

Hearts in sorrow
Down on Filberts Rise

Up on the double divide
Down on Filberts Rise
Down on Filberts Rise
Down on Filberts Rise

Wild horses and wild rivers
Run circles around the sun
I see her in the days and nights
As they blend into one

I see her in the moonlight and in the starry skies
Some times I even swear I see her
Down on Filberts Rise
I see those eyes
Down on Filberts Rise


I see her in the moonlight and in the starry skies
Some time I even swear I see her
Down on filberts rise
I see those eyes
Down on filberts rise
