lyrics

I've caught the madness
Now I belong to this
I've found the place where a man is mostly free
I've got the sickness
And now I can't resist
Going up where the competition is only bears and bees

Up on the mountainside, that's where my worries die
Up where the shade meets sky, and I've got one thing on my mind.

There's treasure on the ground
I see it all around
There's acres of bounteous beauty that's fresh and pure and clean
Up where the tough ones go
Oregon and Idaho
On that road of discovery that only few have seen

Sometimes the rain will come
And try to drive you home
But when the going gets tough the tough get wet
The sickness keeps me warm
Evaporates that storm and
Incinerates the troubles I've been trying to forget

[Eistus' reel / St. Cecelia's reel]
