blogsong #4: Mountain Girl

Caspar shares another song from his song book, it's called 'Mountain Girl'.

Mountain Girl was written first just as a text. I went on a holiday with a friend of mine to see Prague. In the train back to Amsterdam, I thought I'd write a poem in English about what happened in Prague, which appeared much harder then I thought. But later I put some very simple, straightforward chords under the words. It turned out to be just a simple, straightforward song, and a nice and simple piece of story-telling, based on true facts!

Mountain girl

Text and music by Joris Kleverlaan

walking down streets of cobble stones

looking for some bars and girls we can meet.

Now in this less corny bar,

with tequila and salsa,

I finally met some eyes

as dark as Coca Cola.

chorus:

Oh, long legged mountain girl

won't we ever meet again.

I thought you liked me,

or did you just simply refrain.

After some dancing and talking for a while

you said you must return to the people you were with.

Maybe we can meet one time again,

let's say Carl's Bridge four o'clock,

we will see what we will do,

but I am not through with you.

chorus

Now I was waiting still standing on the bridge

the hours are passing by my hope went down the drain

We will never meet again,

as though I couldn't care,

but I swear I’ll never forget my one and only brunette

chorus
