Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Far away on a mountain trail way down in Mexico
Ev’ry day when the sun is sinking low and the tropic breezes blow
There I stray to a flower bower near a bungalow
To my Rose who is waiting there.

[Chorus]
On the Mountain Trail, on the Mountain Trail,
There’s a Rose that grows so wonderful
It’s the only Rose that the Mountain knows
It was placed there just for me and I will take her soon on a saddleback Honeymoon
I’ll strike a golden claim when I change the name
Of the Rose of the Mountain Trail.

[Verse 2]
Moon shines bright on that mountain trail way down in Mexico
Its lovelight shining like a beacon there on the blackness of her hair
Wondrous sight in among the cactus of the mountain trail
Just one Rose growing all alone.

[Chorus x2]
