Judy Collins - Mountain Girl CAPO: 2nd Fret [Intro] [Verse 1] Out on the street it was raining today Homeless man stood in the cold Gave him five dollars and went on my way Big city blues in my soul [Verse 2] Maybe like me that man chose to live here Where there are days your heart dies Maybe he dreamed of a place far away Under the wide open skies [Verse 3] Went on my way feeling strange all that day Wondering what had gone wrong Deep in my heart I could hear that voice call Haunting me all that day long [Chorus] Mountain girl___ in the city You’ve been gone___ far too long Find your way__ back to the mountains Where you know__ you belong Where your dreams can’t go wrong [Verse 4] I’ve seen the world and it’s sights in my day Cities that blaze like the sun I’ve had my share of their riches and fame Done things I never should have done__ [Verse 5] Been broken hearted and broken some hearts Tried running hard from my pain And all along that voice calls in my soul Come back to the mountains again [Chorus] Mountain girl___ in the city You’ve been gone___ far too long Find your way__ back to the mountains Where you know__ you belong Where your dreams can’t go wrong [Bridge] Bought a ticket back again Heading home once more___ Feel that aching pain recede Like the waves on a shore [Verse 6] I feel the heart of the mountains again Beating inside my breast Bringing me back to the place I belong Bringing me home to the west [Verse 7] No pain or sorrow can keep me away I’d even walk that last long mile Here in the mountains where every sunrise starts I’ll heal my heart for awhile [Chorus] Mountain girl___ in the city You’ve been gone___ far too long Find your way__ back to the mountains Where you know__ you belong Where your dreams can’t go wrong [Outro] Mountain girl__ Mountain girl Mountain girl__ in the city____

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le sentiment d'une jeune femme, perdue dans l'agitation d'une grande ville, qui aspire à retrouver son véritable chez-soi, les montagnes. Elle est confrontée à des réalités difficiles et se remémore les rêves et la simplicité des paysages naturels, en contraste avec les désillusions urbaines. À travers son voyage intérieur, elle ressent un appel irrésistible à revenir vers ce lieu où elle se sentait épanouie et alignée avec elle-même. Le contexte met en lumière des thèmes universels comme la recherche d'identité et l’importance des racines. Les montagne symbolisent un refuge, un endroit où l'on peut guérir et redécouvrir la paix intérieure, loin des distractions et des désirs matériels de la vie citadine.
