He used to sing his song to his Sara Jane the folk singer   His songs filled with love made the mountains ring the folk singer   At first Sara Jane was to be his bride but as his fame grew she was pushed aside   Sweet mountain girl would say goodbye to the folk singer   He let his hair grow long and he dressed in style the folk singer   His voice was pure and the fans went wild for the folk singer   He said Sara Jane was much too plain so he left her alone as he gained more fame   But sorrow will come like the mountain rain to the folk singer   [ harmonica ]   Lavished in glory fortune at his feet the folk singer   Awoke one morning and he couldn't speak the folk singer   The doctors said his singing days were through thousands wept Sara Jane did too   He couldn't sing now his friends were few the folk singer   Sick at heart in the mountains again the folk singer   Now Sara Jane didn't look so plain to the folk singer   Ah the power of love can do strange things cause love has made him sing again   Only now he sings for his Sara Jane the folk singer   And once again the mountains ring for this folk singer oh the folk singer
