As I [G] looked at the [D] valleys down [G] below
They were green just as [D] far as I could [G] see
As my memory re-[F]turned, oh [G] how my heart did [C] yearn
For [G] you and the [D] days that used to [G] be
{c:}
High on a [F] mountain top [G] wind blowin' [C] free
[G] Thinking about the [D] days that used to [G] be
High on a [F] mountain top [G] standin' all a-[C]lone
[G] Wondering where the [D] years of my life has [G] flown
{c:}
Oh I wonder if you [D] ever think of [G] me
[G] Or if time has blotted [D] out your memo-[G]ry
As I listen to the [F] breeze, whisper [G] gently through the [C] trees
I'll [G] always cherish [D] what you meant to [G] me
{c:}
High on a [F] mountain top [G] wind blowin' [C] free
[G] Thinking about the [D] days that used to [G] be
High on a [F] mountain top [G] standin' all a-[C]lone
[G] Wondering where the [D] years of my life has [G] flown
{c:}
High on a [F] mountain top [G] wind blowin' [C] free
[G] Thinking about the [D] days that used to [G] be
High on a [F] mountain top [G] standin' all a-[C]lone
[G] Wondering where the [D] years of my life has [G] flown
(slower)
[G] Wondering where the [D] years of my life has [G] flown

Info: Ola Belle Reed (August 18, 1916 �" August 16, 2002) was an American Appalachian folk singer, songwriter and banjo player.

Reed was born Ola Wave Campbell in the unincorporated town of Grassy Creek, Ashe County, North Carolina, to Arthur Campbell and Ellen Campbell (née Osborne). She was the fourth of thirteen children.

As a young child, Reed learned the clawhammer-style banjo and with her musical family sang old-time songs from the mountain region where they lived. Several family members on both sides of her family played instruments and sang. Reed's paternal grandfather, Alexander Campbell, played the fiddle. Her father played several instruments including the fiddle, banjo, guitar, and organ. Her uncle, Dockery Campbell, is credited with teaching Reed the clawhammer style. On her mother's side, family member Bob Ingraham taught singing schools and her uncle Herb Osborne was versed in mining songs. Reed learned ballads and songs from her mother and grandmother

Reed's songs often speak of Appalachian life and traditions. Her best-known songs have been recorded by mainstream bluegrass and country artists. "High on a Mountain" has been recorded by Del McCoury, Tim O'Brien, and Marty Stuart; "I've Endured" has been recorded by Del McCoury as well as Tim O'Brien. The New York-based folk music group Ollabelle is named after Reed
