about

this song is not about MY parents - this song is fictional (except for the part where the narrator is gay, we've got that in common)

lyrics

into the mountains my true love did roam
for to seek out a place of our own
I promised her I'd follow closely behind
so before the sun rises I'll be gone

and it's farewell to parents who gave me life
raising their daughter the way they saw fit
but no husband I'll take, I'll be no man's wife
with my love I'll live

come evening tomorrow beyond the next ridge
on that distant and lonely hillside
my true love will meet me and we'll slip away
to the place that she found for us we'll fly

and out there in the pines we will build our home
living each day by the strength of our hands
by the sky overhead and the earth below
answering to no man

into the mountains my true love did roam
for to seek out a place of our own
for her like no other my tender heart sings
and where she goes, then I will follow
