Generate meaning
1
Over high mountains not too far away
2
Is a valley I'm longin' to see
3
There lives a maiden who wants be mine
4
But her family cares nothin' for me
5
Her Mother knows that her daughter found love
6
In the arms of a poor mountain man
7
Her Father tells her, have nothin' to do
8
With the boy from the high mountain clan
9
Those in the valley have castles and wealth
10
Does that make them better than I
11
My dreams are my wealth and I've plenty of them
12
And my castles reach up to the sky
13
'Cause I am poor have I no right to love
14
Even though I am loved in return
15
True love can never be measured in riches
16
And money cannot make it burn
17
Her wealthy Father believes that a man
18
Should be judged on the ground that he owns
19
Since I have only the price of an acre
20
He wants me to leave her alone
21
But I'm determined, I'm young and I'm strong
22
It's true love that I'm workin' for
23
I'll buy me an acre down there in the valley
24
And soon have a hundred or more
25
Nola and I will be married and Heaven
26
Will bless with a boy and a girl
27
And we'll teach them true love can never be measured
28
By riches they've gained in this world
