Big mountain, wide river
 There's an ancient pull
 These tree trunks, these stream beds
 Leave our bellies full
 They sing out I am gonna stand my ground
 Your eyes to me will blow you down
 I am gonna stand my ground
 Your eyes to me will blow you down
 Hey Henry, can you hear me
 Let me see those eyes
 This distance between us
 Can seem a mountain size
 But boy
 You are gonna stand your ground
 Their eyes to you you blow them down
 Let me see you stand your ground
 Their eyes to you you blow them down
 My darling, my sweetheart
 I am in your sway
 Two coal lines come springtime
 So let me hear you say
 My love I am gonna stand my ground
 Their eyes to me will blow them down
 I am gonna stand my ground
 Their eyes to me will blow them down
 'cause I am gonna stand my ground
 Your eyes to me will blow you down
