O’er the Lonely Mountain Pentangle

[Verse 1]
Far o'er the lonely mountain high
Where the brave golden eagle flies
Skimming o'er the valleys, searching for food

[Refrain]
It's so hard, so hard, so hard to bear
When a hungry mouth cries for more

[Verse 2]
Circling, ever circling around
Constant, with his eyes to the ground
Watching every movement, hearing every sound

[Refrain]
It's so hard, so hard, so hard to bear
When a hungry mouth cries for more

[Bridge]
There's no restless runnin' water, no fish to be found
Therе's no scurryin' in the bushes, small creaturеs runnin' 'round
No badger, no weasel, no fox on the run
There's no dogs out chasin' rabbits, no poacher with his gun
There's no snakes slippin' and a-slidin' or sleepin' in the sun
There's no trees, God, there's no trees
