Through the Mountain

[NELLIE, spoken]

I gotta go into the cave

He needs me, it's gettin' time

[MILLER, spoken]

Miss Nellie, you're not allowed to be here

You know they closed this area off

[NELLIE, spoken]

But the wind!

[MILLER, spoken]

You can't go under

Why, it's too dangerous

And you couldn't possibly—

[NELLIE]

But why can all you go?

Like fire, like air

'Tain't fair that all of you go

You men

Goin' under

Always scootin' 'round and a-runnin' things

Always goin' 'round and a-runnin' things

Tick tock tick tock

Tock tick tock!

I'm achin' to go!

Please! I'm achin' to set him free

What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with me?

[NELLIE, spoken]

I'ma come to you, Floyd

No matter what

[NELLIE]

I'ma walk you through the mountain on a bearskin rug

Through the great halls you dream of, and tell of so often

I'ma keep you just as warm as a goodnight hug

As we follow 'long the diamonds to the outside

You can takе me on a tour of the emеrald towers

To the spires of sapphires and waterfalls of crystal

We'll lay down to sleep with the gypsum flowers

As we follow 'long the diamonds to the outside

Ooh

Gonna get you out of there

To a land of babies dancin' with a banjo in the air

And the sky is all lit up

With lemons and roses

Everything from your head to your toes is warm

Listen to me now

I'ma walk you through the mountain on a bearskin rug

Through the great halls you dream of and tell of so often

I'ma take you by the hand and with a gentle tug

We'll be gone

We'll be long gone

As we follow 'long the diamonds to the outside

As we follow 'long the diamonds to the outside

Ooh

Ooh
