Mean Mary (Part 3)

Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the music video [#3 of 3] of Mean Mary James performing Fields of Glory, a medley of Cotton Eyed Joe ... Iron Horse

1. Fields of Glory,
Lyrics
"verse 1 (sung a Capella)
Oh, the chapel on the hill is ringing out a call
Saying, all you sinner?s come or get ready for a fall
And I?ll be there in a faded dress, but I?ll be looking sweet
And there won?t be a soul who?ll care, there?s no shoes on my feet
Up the mountain of fury, 'cross the river of fear
Down the valley of the shadow, I?ll be running like a deer
When I come to the end of life?s great story
I will walk barefoot through the fields of glory


verse 2
I was born a simple girl and a simple life I lead
And there?s not too many folks around who could say that?s all they need
Don?t mean to brag about the peaceful, simple life I choose
But the roads don?t seem so rough, when I'm wearing high-heeled shoes
Up the mountain of fury, 'cross the river of fear
Down the valley of the shadow, I?ll be running like a deer
When I come to the end of life?s great story
I will walk barefoot through the fields of glory

verse 3
Now they say that River Jordan is too wide a swim to dare
But they used to say our sins were just too big a cross to bear
And you know you?re bound to wander down a dusty winding road
So the more you give, the less you have, the lighter your load

Up the mountain of fury, 'cross the river of fear
Down the valley of the shadow, I?ll be running like a deer
When I come to the end of life?s great story
I will walk barefoot through the fields of glory

Instrumental:
From the mountain of fury, 'cross the river of fear
Down the valley of the shadow, I?ll be running like a deer
When I come to the end of life?s great story
I will walk barefoot through the fields of glory"

2. Iron Horse written by Mean MaryJames
Lyrics
"We rode the plains as lovers do
We raced beneath the summer sun
My dusky eyes met his so blue
Our soaring spirits breathed as one
We blazed our love across the sky
Surrendered to its ancient force
Until the day he said goodbye
And climbed aboard the Iron horse
I heard its challenge, loud and shrill
As we chased it up the Great Divide
Though my steed had the stronger will
The iron horse had the longer stride
Its whistle cut me like a blade
I loathed its screaming, smoky cry
How could he leave His Indian maid?
I'll ride like wind and ask him why
Astride my fearless painted dun
I chose my pace and set my course
To catch this demon on the run
My steed against this iron horse
I heard its challenge loud and shrill
As it labored up the Great Divide.
Though my steed had the stronger will
The iron horse had the longer stride
It roared its challenge loud and shrill
As it labored up the Great Divide.
Though I had the stronger will
The iron horse had the longer stride
Through the thunder of its blare
I yelled my fury at the beast
Wasted words lost in the air
As it roared its way forever east
And the iron horse's speed increased …"
