There'll be a party on the mountain People dancing on a hill Our song will reach across the valley Take a day off from the mill There'll be a high lit celebration We'll string colored lights through pine There'll be a party on the mountain If you say that you'll be mine Be a party on the mountain Coleslaw, pickles, sweet and dill And we'll roast ham and turkey Make purchase from the still There'll be red potato salad Deviled eggs and custard pie There'll be a party on the mountain If you say that you'll be mine The women clear the dishes As the sun was goin' down Then some ladies suggested It was time to hit the town No way Jose We'll stay And with the fire glowin' With the music groovin' It's too late for slowin' down We'll party on the mountain There'll be dancing on the hill Our song will reach across the valley Take a day off from the mill There'll be a high lit celebration We'll string colored lights through pine There'll be a party on the mountain If you say that you'll be mine Be a party on the moutain If you say that you'll be mine
