GILLIS MOUTAIN

I took a trip up Gillis Mountain 
On a sunny summer day 
There were ruts in the road 
And the four wheel drive 
Spun its wheels in the rocks and the clay 
Yes it spun its wheels in the rocks and the clay 

On our way up Gillis Mountain 
On that sunny summer day 
There were spruce trees 
Growing on the fields 
Where forefathers once made hay 
Where our forefathers once made hay 

And oh oh oh Gillis Mountain 
Oh oh oh where forefathers once made hay 

The Gillis' lived on the mountain 
For about a hundred years 
Where we picked berries 
They cleared land 
Spent their blood and sweat and tears 
They spent their blood and sweat and tears 

And oh oh Gillis Mountain 
Oh oh oh spent their blood and sweat and tears 

When we arrived on Gillis Mountain 
You could see for miles in the light 
The white caps on the sea of blue 
Sparkled like diamonds in the night 
They sparkled like diamonds in the night 

And oh oh oh Gillis Mountain oh oh oh sparkled like diamonds in the night And oh oh oh Gillis Mountain oh oh oh sparkled like diamonds in the night la la la la la la la la la la la Sparkled like diamonds in the night
