I go up on Mandolin Mountain,
Up on Mandolin Hill,
High lonesome harmony,
Water from the well
Water from the well
My life is running through me,
And I'm satisfied,
The old songs keep calling me,
Calling in the night
Calling in the night
I go up on Mandolin Mountain,
Up on Mandolin Hill,
High lonesome harmony,
Water from the well
Water from the well
Keeps on calling me . . . . Home
Keeps on calling me . . . . Home
I've been reading the book of love,
But that is down the road,
Love is for the brave, the true,
The patient and the good
Yes, the patient and the good
I go up on Mandolin Mountain,
Up on Mandolin Hill,
High lonesome harmony,
Water from the well
Water from the well
