Big mountain, wide river,
There's an ancient pull
These tree trunks, these stream beds,
Leave our bellies full

They sing I'm going to stand my ground
You rise to me it'll blow you down.
I am going to stand my ground
You rise to me, it'll blow you down.

Hey Henry, can you hear me?
Let me see those eyes
This distance between us
Can seem of mountain size

But boy, you're gonna stand your ground
They rise to you, you blow them down.
Let me see you stand your ground
They rise to you, you blow them down.

My darling, my sweetheart,
I am in your sway
To cold climbs, come spring time
So let me you say,

My love I am gonna stand my ground
They rise to me, you'll blow them down.
I am gonna stand my ground
They rise to me, you'll blow them down.
Cause I am gonna stand my ground.
You rise to me and I'll blow you down.
