Well I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain yeah I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Hill
I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain cause I've lost my will to live

Well it was six o'clock yesterday mornin' when my sweet baby packed up to leave
It was six o'clock yesterday mornin' and I ain't done nothin' but grieve
Well I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain...
[ ac.guitar ]
Well I begged and I cried and I pleaded for my sweet Willy not to go
Like the leaf that's caught in a whirl wind where he's gone now I'll never know
Well I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain...
[ harmonica ]
Now why does a girl let a fella turn her into a hollow shelf
And walk up and leave her behind him like a ship at sea with no sail
Well I'm goin' up on Heartbreak Mountain...
Well I've lost my will to live
