The steel guitar is truly the sound of the South
Sucks that this new country music they make don't incorporate it all
That fiddle too
Apparently the steel guitar used in this wasn’t even tuned properly as it was purchased the same day of the recording and no one had any idea how to tune a lap steel in the studio.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@AppalachianMountaineer1863well, that’s obvious 😂 idk who’s playing but it’s bad out of tune.
Hey y'all old roadie here. Loved em at the start still do. Turned 70 two weeks ago. God Bless y'all God Bless America.
It sure was better to be 20 in the 70's than 70 in the 20's. God Bless..!
@@Fletch001I’m in my 20’s now, and I’d rather listen to feel good music and funky old soul than anything else! God bless America!
@@katrinamaniscalco6821 I like BOTH kinds of music....Country AND Western!
Actually, my tastes run quite wide and I like at least SOME of most anything...and, I'm 83.
God Bless You Brother
🪶 ✨
Journey Well Brother
Bless you! 😊
The finest example of the link between Southern Rock and traditional country. Complete with a steel guitar.
Damn straight
Aside from the Kinks, my two favorite bands are MTB, and Arlo Guthrie & Shenandoah. Can listen to any of them for hours.
@@lgbpop the alice-in-chains, also really achieve some down-home-flavours 'n' colours: try it, you might be glad-ya-did-that~
Precisely. Great observation.
Hell yeah
Takes me waaaay back to the 70,s. Boy do we sure need this music back.
We need a lot more of this in our lives. Absolutely agreed.
😊 brings back memories, back in the day ! When I was crazy and nuts, but I survived ! 😊
Amen on that
Love this
It’s “right here” in front of us, to enjoy, forever
I didn't know anyone else still listened to MARSHALL TUCKER STILL!
Always.
Of course we do!
Hell yeah I hate the stuff of today definitely despise hip hop / rap crap
This song and gold fever are probably eternal.
Louisa Va 🔥
I’ve always thought this was one of the most chilling and haunting songs I’ve ever heard.
EXACTLY AS YOU SAID
CHILLING AND HAUNTING SONG IVE EVERY HEARD AND I LOVE ❤️ ❤❤IT ❤❤❤😢😢😢
Back when songs told stories...
This song is criminally underrated.
These guys were real musicians,no fillers just perfect
Yes sir
Right
My God this brings me back. America was so simpler and life was easy. We might have disagreed politically then but we we all loved our country.
This song is about a guy whose life is miserable, and then he's murdered for nothing at the end of it. I have no idea how you got 'life was easy' out of that.
@@johnmccarron7066I’m sure he meant life was easier because of the high tech woke bullshit we have now. Social media has ruined things.
Yes, our country is going to hell with Biden and liberals
This country has had its ups and downs for sure but why does so many people hate living here now I’ll never get that. Self destruction
It certainly wasn't easy for him!.JMG
I was listening to this song when I had my heart attack in 2017.
Doctors gave me a 50/50 chance of survival.
Well, here I am in 2022 listening to this song again . . .
Southern Rock is a wonder on itself. glad to have you among the great sounds .
Glad you're here.
Glad you're still here. God bless.
Nice...
Praise the lord
Bands today only wish they were half as good as this..
Right on Brother...true for just about all music today.
not any!
1/2 shit it ain't even that more like an 1/8 of this great band
You got that right
For Real, they cant even come close to this,
I’m A 27 Year Old Italian 🇮🇹 American 🇺🇸 And Starting To Love Good Old Southern Rock Music 🎵 🤟🎸❤
And you always will!
God-bless ya!
It's the best
Its a Rich tradition , you will be happy with this rabbit h ole.
Here is a list of Southern rock bands:
Lynyrd Skynyrd
ZZ Top
The Allman Brothers Band
38 Special
Black Oak Arkansas
Outlaws
The Marshall Tucker Band
Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers
Molly Hatchet
Only two bands could rock the flute like it belonged there, and they were literally worlds apart: MTB and Jethro Tull. It takes guts to be different, and it takes talent to make it work. Both bands had both in spades!
You nailed. Very well said. 😊
I recall Lars Ulrich saying in 1992 at the Grammys that he was thankful Jethro Tull hadn't put out an album that year. They had previously beat out Metallica for an award.
Just listened to Locomotive Breath.
Listening on Sunday, July.7.2024. Forever Grateful For This Brilliant American Southern Rock Band ❤️ 🇺🇸 ❤️🇨🇦 Cheers From Canada ✊🏻🎵🎶
July 9
The Music we Southern boys grew up with. Marshall Tucker, Allman Bros.,Skynyrd, best music ever. I miss the Country I grew up in.
We all grew up with it. Plenty of Yankees still appreciate it.
I grew up with it. Memphis & Northern Mississippi right here.
Want to take it back? Shut up and sit down...
I miss it to
@@jelsig6783I have met so many people from up North that love southern rock. Good music is good music.
This was my boyfriend, Jeff's, favorite band (in 1974) along with New Riders of the Purple Sage. Jeff's gone now. He was my one true love. Rest in peace Jeff.
New Riders of the purple sage is randomly mentioned. Two great bands though I do agree.
Rest in paradise, Jeff.
First time hearing this song. I dig it.
Sorry for your loss, Bren. RIP.
They are a good band, sorry about your lost, kinda in the same boat as well. but hopefully we can find someone else and Carry on
I love NRPS!!! Their album Panama Red was the soundtrack to my travels back and forth from Humboldt County, CA and Tulsa, OK when I was 19. Marshall Tucker rips!!! Sorry for your loss! Jeff lives on through this music!
My youngest son and I are both wildland firefighters for different departments, we went to sawyer school together in Colorado a couple years ago. This song was playing on the radio as we drove through NM on our way to the school. Always loved this song, now I have that memory of us travelling to training together.

How do you feel about the DEW attacks???
I love southern rock and I'm a Southwestern Hispanic woman. Grew up "color" blind and identify as American.
I feel the same....... from Colorado to Texas. This man is american first.
👍👍👍 We love you too Kim Peres, fellow American 💖😍
Good for you sweetheart!

MARSHALL TUCKER BAND ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME. SEEN THEM MANY TIMES .
I get to see them for the first time in 3 day's.
You both have the grammar of Marshall Tucker fans.
IF. YOUR GRAMMER IS PERFECT. WHAT ARE YOU DOING LISTENING TO MARSHALL TUCKER ?
@@michealmecca3939 My Grammar is long gone, but my Grampa is still alive and loves the MTB.
RIP dad. I'll always remember playing this as loud as you could on our way to pack horses deep into the wilderness. Miss you more and more everyday.
God bless your father
RIP to your father, Morgan - mine has been gone eleven years in October. I imagine a depressing number of us here have lost parents since those days when Marshall Tucker rode so high.
My dad used to play this all the time, especially on long car rides on back roads. RIP to both our old men.
Condolences💔 I enjoyed this great music with my father too..RIP to my dad💔
@@starmnsixty1209 yes, both of my parents are gone. But I have the memories of enjoying music like this with them💔
The pride of Spartanburg, SC. The best!
Hell yeah, Charleston here

That intro is so fucking powerful man, i love how the second you hear it you’re instantly captivated and before you know it your being weaved into the bands story
It really is. It just sounds so heart felt and authentic
@@poom641 don't forget that fantastic flute solo!!🪈🪇
"That's my brother Toy on the steel" 🤩🤩
This song takes me back to a place and time i wish i could relive. So glad i was part of that era
I'd go back just for the music

To all the mountain folks who lost families in this year worst floods,my on mountain blood WV,my heart goes on to you.fire on the mountain saids it all.😢
Marshall Tucker music has been an unforgettable life of pure pleasure for 54 years. What a great group of musicians.
They are eternally set in country rock music history

Don't forget them good ole Ozark Mountain Daredivls. Wow another great group that still rock this older generation
I think it started in 1972
I've been listening to MTB since the 70's on vinyl, cassette, 8 track, CD and online. Just bought a new CD because the previous one wore out!
The music of the 60s and 70s was of a quality and caliber that will never be repeated. Every song is a hit, with so much soul coming through every note. This one in particular reminds me of my dad. I miss him a lot every single day.
Cat Stevens reminds me of my dad.
I also love Gordon Lightfoot and John Denver
RIP to both of our fathers.
100%!! Agree
I’m 77 now that music was pure much missed
Back in 1977 I had just gotten out of the Marines and I was working at the 7-11 store in Daytona Beach Shores Florida down the road from Gregg Allman's Mom. The guys from Marshall Tucker used to hang out around there with Gregg Allman. The Marshall Tucker Band was a bunch of really nice guys. They'd come into the store and stay and talk to me for awhile. One of them even came in once to apologize for Gregg Allman's drunken rage in the store the night before.
Great story and cool brag. Their parents saw so much loss, losing three sons. Heart wretching for sure.
Semper Fi, thank you guys for taking care of me. I did my best to take care of y'all too. - Fleet Marine Force Corpsman
We need to get this country back to the grass roots of what we were founded on..
Vote for what you feel is right for this country. Always keep your values close to your heart.
And think about men and women that gave their lives protecting the U.S.
Amen!!! That's right😊 3:56
My brother and I listened to Marshall tucker for a long long time he passed away at at 54 from cancer never smoked battled cancer fight for 16 years! My son is in the Air Force got to meet lead singer and get a picture!!! Makes me smile and cry thank you Marshall tucker love you!!
I'm sorry for the lost. I love his songs that I kept playing over and over again, Marshall Tucker sang wisely and beautiful songs. How are you doing Pat?
Saw these guys live, either as headliners or with Skynyrd, at least 6-8 times. They were always more than excellent. Coke was an amazing thing. Even when Van Zandt fell off the stage and hit his head, in Charlotte, these guys came back out , teamed up with the Skynyrd band, and jammed for almost 3 hours. It was an awesome night and memory
And ronnie did fall and hit his head in the old charlotte coliseum,which still stands today
@@bankerlies6121 Yes sir
I saw them in Sacramento headlining for Elvin Bishop and Skynyrd in1975 I think it was. Elvin Bishop came out and jammed with Marshall Tucker, but Skynyrd didn't.
Saw them many times when they toured with Charlie Daniel's and The Outlaws. Always felt sorry for Charlie having to follow Green Grass and High Tides.
What a joy it must be to know you've seen real music performed by real musicians, lucky bastard
Just seen them at Carnegie Music Hall south side of Pittsburgh. I just turned 64 and the last time I seen them was 1977. What great music they created in their songs. It’s here for ever! Thanks for the talent and the memories.
This is still music that Can’t be out done, there is magic when Toy played that can not be duplicated, thanks for the one of the best Southern Rock bands to ever play, like Skynyrd, these guys were the best of the best!!! I’m thankful to be able to still hear them play, anybody else?
Yes sir!
I saw them headline with Lynyrd Skynyrd and Elvin Bishop in Sacramento, Ca 1975. One of the best shows I ever went to and will never forget
Have you heard of the Grateful Dead, if you like these dudes, I think you will like them
The dead cover this very song too..Gerry Garcia done a great album of old time bluegrass too with David Grissom i think...shady grove
Why hell yes! All us old hippies are NOT dead yet
My kin folk who shredded blood for 🇺🇲.. introduced me to this Tune Many Moon's ago. Also i sure as heck love the grateful Dead version "Fire on the mountain" Cheer's Brothers & Sisters
Keep on trucking 🤝
"They say heaven's at the end, but so far it's been hell!" -If that line don't sum up my life perfectly, I'm not sure which other one will!
This song will take you on a journey... if you let it.
+jam cam wham bam thank ya mam
It really will.
+stonelove919, yea good memories!
your right the old west was no man's land in spots
every time i hear it...... like a movie reel
I’m still listening to the album I bought in 68 or 69 when it first came out, love every song on it, still listen to it now in 2024 ❤
If I was on death's doorstep and I had five songs to hear before I checked out, this song damn sure would be one of them.! This version is perfect in every aspect. One of the greatest songs of all time.
Hun intresting
Damn right about that Brother!
I'm there now.
We agree.
I would choose to listen to the long version of Freebird five times.
Wish I could hear each part separately.
This song sounds timeless in the endless pursuit of the dream on the horizon.
You a poet or something
Poetic truth.
Reminds me of when i started my westward ski journey 15 years ago... the courage it took to follow a dream.
Certified welder 👨🏭 for 37 years on structural steel. Traveling the south east all these years. Charleston, South Carolina is very nice 👍. Columbia & more. Charlotte. Keep on Rocking Marshall tucker band!
Pound for pound the best flute in southern rock history.
Great tune from back in the days when we still thought we were free. Times sure do change. Glad I lived through that era.
Late 1970s Jacksonville, NC neighbors had company roll in frequently (not to be named MC). They always came over to listen to this song. Stomping their feet, turntable needle skipping. Good memories. Hope you still racing with the wind. Respect begets respect.
The Marshall Tucker Band was unique. Great music. Immortal.
Their music touched my soul.....!
I love the Marshall Tucker band, so fantastic their songs take me “somewhere else” … ♥️
Whose listening in 2024 ❤❤❤❤❤
I've been listening since the 70s ❤❤
Always enjoying the music of the 60s and 70s. Or blue eyed soul.
🤘
Hell yeah. Great version
Got here from 5-Finger Death Punch's cover of Blue on Black. Fire on the mountain in the video reminded me of this. Had to listen again, 3x actually.
Saw them at Red Rocks in 1978. They rolled the backdrop down with the stage coach scene right when a full moon came up over the stage. Never will forget it. Got married 1 week later. Still going strong.
I saw them around that same time with the stagecoach backdrop. It was killer!
That’s a beautiful vignette and great to hear!!
One of the best for sure and I’m 38. Current generation will never understand.
What we called southern rock and loved it back then and I'm 60.
I'm 61 and southern rock is in my collect and play often.
I'm with you brother, I m. 61 and I know where you coming from friend!!!!!God bless you and have a good understand!!!!!!!!!#
I've got you all beat. I'm 78 and have been listening to this for decades, never seem to tire from it.
All yall have me by over twenty years but I'm with yall 100%! Some of the greatest music of all time! I just wish the real Marshal Tucker Band & the real Lynyrd Skynyrd had been able to have lasted longer. God bless all those that have left this world to rock the Heavens!
Holly Bischoff yes we did. Great music
Took my fam'ly away from our Carolina home
Had dreams about the west and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end
But so far it's been hell
And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
We were digging and shifting from five to five
Selling ev'rything we found just to stay alive
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Sinning was the big thin Lord
And satan was the star
And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Dance hall girls were the evening treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise of their 44 guns
And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Now my widow, she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim
And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Thanks
Ray Ursillo I
You're the real MVP
word for word still good thanks, you aren't no "indian-giver" that USE to mean something/anything to you also?
Bad ass
My mom had a fantastic stereo with these huge speakers that shook the walls and I remember many a night in the 70's and early 80's as her and her friends partied the night away as I was in the bed supposedly sleeping listening to this song and many others on vinyl. Good memories. Wish there was great bands like this nowadays
Me too - non better than MTB
And I bet you can remember the words of the songs to this day.
Saw The Marshall Tucker Band at The Forum. Great live band & good LPs. My dog Blue loved this song. He was more loyal than my ex-wife.
+Dennis Devine That sounds like a country song.
+Dennis Devine of course unconditional love ahahahah
Dude. I googled "my dog blue was more loyal than my ex wife" and it gave me the UA-cam Fire On the Mountain link. You're famous!!!
Cory Wright the tucker group was not on for long time .now they see where the bread is buttered
ain't nothing like a good dog.
Had the pleasure of seeing these guys at the Boston Garden in 1977. They were amazing. RIP brothers ..
That was nice. I love his songs that I kept playing over and over again, Marshall Tucker sang wisely and beautiful songs. How are you doing Rebecca?
My dad died in July so it's been a rough six months. I randomly listened to this song then sent it to my mom and three brothers the other night and said "this reminds me of Dad." Turns out my mom was in a bar and this song was playing at the same time. And before hearing about it, my aunt woke in the middle of the night and randomly listened to it. Just when you believe life is nothing other than existence.
There are no coincidences
Awesome!. Psalm 119:97
O how love I thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.
Your father sent you a sign GOD BLESS
My dad died in July as well. This was one of his favorite bands. I play this song because this was his favorite song from Marshall Tucker Band
Ive got the same kinda situation. My sister and I share songs back and forth. Its amazing.
Close your eyes while listening, and you'll find time travel does exist. Just not in the parameters we thought.
I hope you find peace.
Lots of memories in this song 😢 way back in the days the 8-track tapes days❤😢
Possibly the greatest song ever written
My favorite song of 1975! Holds a lot of memories. The year I graduated High School, began College, and then my life changed forever, lost my brother in a car wreck on the 6th day of December of that same year. Still love the song but when I listen to it I overflow with bitter sweet memories.
love southern rock! 60s-70s music were the best!!!
Janis Wagner from TX??
Still the best
u betcha !!!
Charlie Daniels, MTB, Lynyrd Skynyrd to name a few
No other group does this tune like M.tucker..loved this song from the very beginning!!!!
Love Marshall Tucker. This song sealed the deal. Along with Lynrd
Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels, The allman Brothers, ZZ Top, 38 special, little feat. Blackfoot and others. Love that Southern Rock..
Grew up and still live in Georgia, so I was right in the middle of it. Great music!
You da man! You really know your southern rock. I love all those groups. Grew up with them.
A legendary song...Marshall Tucker is written among the 🌟 stars
70s era .. the time the best music ever was made .. done in analog & no autotune.
Man.. everytime I hear this song.. I’m from South Carolina and I can’t seem to think I would have done the same thing over 150 years ago. Move out west for hopes of making generational wealth. It’s hard now for the 80 hr a week common working man here in today’s time.. I couldn’t imagine what it was like back then
The steel on this tune is FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Toy is in the conversation of best ever. Only ones better might be Clapton and Roy Clark
Don't forget Jerry Garcia :) Listen to Jerry doing a song called "The Wheel"
Larry Johnson And so is the flute!! I love this song.
That whining steel guitar...Southern- speak...
It's awesome
windows rolled down, radio at full blast running on highway us 50 west bound going thru Colorado on dusky sunset.
oh man....
The good old days....

Nothing like road trips in the west.
dude! I think I just drove by you. Listening to the same song.
Marshall Tucker were a big southern rock group during the 70’s🎶
One of my all time favorites ❤ can't beat true Southern Rock. Thank goodness I grew up in this time of the best timeless music that lives on. Nothing today compares ❤
Southern music is so underrated.

George Mcfly , there's still Charlie Daniels.
for sure

Brings back many great memories from the 1970's. Riding motorcycles on weekends to see local country rock bands who many performed this song. The wife & I saw the Marshall Tucker Band perform at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh back in mid 1980's. It was a great concert. The Outlaws also performed with them that night.
Folks need to listen and appreciate fine songs like Fire on the Mountain. No screaming and hollering. You can understand every word. Good music, like a previous comment, God bless Charlie Daniels too! I had the honor of personally meeting that fine man in Minnesota several years ago. Rest in peace friend.
Nothing wrong with a lil screaming and hollerin’
Capitol Theatre Passaic NJ. 70s. Johnny n Hanges in Paterson after show

You tell him Craig you got it just right I'm in Southeast Georgia if you don't like that right there you don't need to be here
It's called real talent
Takes back to those summer nights
I’m here brother! I’m 54 years old & my father played this 8 track when I was young! Keep on Rocking Marshall Tucker band. Love all of it!!!!!! Classic rock is the greatest of all time!
this is a great song to have playing LOUD while riding my Harley across the country. . . .
I can see a riding a Harley across town but not across the country! You are a brave man!
@@michaelatoz580 ..I can't
Southern rock at its' finest!
Most ghostly, haunting pedal steel I have ever heard!!! This is a true masterpiece folks... listen carefully please.
Perhaps more haunting is the fact not only the talented gentleman who did pedal steel here died VERY young, but his 2 brothers as well. Very discouraging story indeed.
This gave me a whole new perspective on the song
Your revolution is over. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me? The bums will always lose!
I love it!
@@creativenative218 I hope that my wife will someday learn to live on her allowance, which is ample, but if she doesn't sir, that will be her problem, not mine, just as your job is your problem, just as every bum's lot in lfe is his own responsibility regardless of whom he chooses to blame. I didn't blame anyone for the loss of my legs, some Chinamaman took them from me in Korea, but I went out and achieved anyway. I can't solve your problems, sir, only you can.
@James Hetfield Did I urinate on your rug?
Most awesome, haunting, pedal steel EVER. Great song, great vocals, great everything.Saw them in '77 at Wittenberg U, right up front!
Marshall Tucker now that's music
Scrolling through the comments brings a tear to my eye , just how awesome this music sounds and touches our souls . It will bring people together of all races because life's to be had by all and it's quite a journey .
This brings memories of driving with my grandma hella early in the morning listening to ktnn going to feed her live stock. Like the sun is barely coming out early. Ahhhh memories.
Legends... I wreckon garth brooks listened to these guys growing up 🤷♂️
Excellent music 🎶 🎵
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a Joke because The Marshall Tucker Band is not in it.
And rap is in it
They never sold their souls be my guess! Sorry hank n all the other greats, I know there wasn't much you could do to avoid it!
The boys from spartanburg south carolina will live forever!!!
It's always a pleasure for international people to know so much about music. I was 10 when my father say me down on a chair and raised me up with the 60s and the 70s. 11 years old I first heard it. Now on my 40s it's a tune I've never forgotten
Been listening to them since I was born. Got to see them in concert couple weeks back with my mom! What a great time!
RIP Toy Caldwell. You were taken from us far too early.
In case anyone wants the lyrics.
Took my family away from our Carolina home

Six long months on a dust covered trail

We were digging and shifting from five to five
Selling everything we found just to stay alive
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars

You got to respect the working man and the struggle he goes through just to bearly survive out here ...This song hits home for me

"Fire On The Mountain"
Took my fam'ly away from my Carolina home
Had dreams about the West and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five
Sellin' everything we found just to stay alive
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise of their forty-four guns
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Now my widow she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Waitin' for me there
I had a 1975 International Scout and added a cheapo tape deck and speakers. I had this album on cassette and played the crap out of it riding down the road. The good ole days.
Hangin' out getten it done. Working and listening to the old songs. It cracks me up when I'm paying something and I've got college students asking "Who are these guys?
My first concert ever was this band, on my dad's shoulders the lead guitarist threw his pic to me and I've been in love with their music since then
It's amazing how a song I never grew up with can trigger nostalgia just by connecting to a vibe or feeling I had as a child. Reminds me of riding dirtbikes on my uncle's farm... beautiful golden times.
Listened to this 8-track when I came across country in 76. Great album.
Thomas Solimini same here with my uncle in a 69 Pontiac leans hotrod
Had to do the old " tape repair " on my 8 track more than once
These guys were some amazing musicians wish they had more notoriety
Bro on the pedal steel is killing it. Masterful work from the boys.
Took my fam'ly away from my Carolina home
Had dreams about the West and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five
Sellin' everything we found just to stay alive
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise of their forty-four guns
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Now my widow she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Waitin' for me there
thanks, erin ... been down here in Virginia for 43 years and had forgotten some of the words !!!
Thank you. My dad loves this band, among others, and I’ve found it easier to follow a song with the lyrics.
Wooden Nickel I’m well aware, but I still appreciate it. I was listening on mobile, so I couldn’t leave UA-cam.
Thanks,Miss Erin. Coming from Texas,by way of Tennersee.
I pronounce it the way l spell it.
Thanks Erin, memory is slip n', ya know.

The most underrated and forgotten band in the whole history of music.what a tragic shame.
Fire on the Mountain brings the tears to my eyes as it is a song that my late friend Paul B. was so fond of. He and I saw The Marshall Tucker Band along with The CDB in Syracuse, a couple times. That intro is classic.
Southern rock, best genre of music and they don't make music like that anymore....
+Mark Brown GREAT GREAT MUSIC

James Kirk blackberry smoke band out of the south
