Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the audio recording of Jack White performing Great High Mountain from the Cold Mountain Soundtrack

Here is the songwriter singing his song

Great High Mountain written by Ralph Stanley
Lyrics
"Once I stood at the foot of a great high mountain
That I wanted so much to climb
And on top of this mountain was a beautiful fountain
That flows with the waters of life

I fell down on my knees at the foot of this mountain
I cried, "O Lord, what must I do?"
I want to climb this mountain, I want to drink from this fountain
That flows so clean in my view

Then I heard a sweet voice from the top of this mountain
Saying, "Child, put your hand in mine"
I started climbing slowly, watch your step at the edges
And take one step at a time

I started climbing upward taking one step at a time
The higher I got, the harder I climbed

I'm still climbing upwards and my journey's almost ended
I'm nearing the top and you ought to see the view
Oh, the water flows freely, there's enough to make you free
So friend, if you're thirsty, climb this mountain with me"
