Yeah, yeah, yeah-ah-yay-ay
Yeah, yeah-yay-ay, yeah-ah
The mountain's high and the valley's so deep
Can't get across to the other siii-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ide
Don't you give up, baby, don't you cry
Don't you give up 'til I reach the o-other si-i-i-ide
I was lonely, baby, I couldn't sleep
The night they took you from my si-i-i-i-ide
I was a lonely soul
Until you became my go-o-oal
And then I saw the spark of love
And then the stars fell from
Up above, oh yeah
I know someday we will meet again
But I don't know exactly where or whe-e-e-e-e-en
But, baby, if fate has its way
We'll meet again some other dayyyyyy-ay
The mountain's high and the valley's so deep
Can't get across to the other siii-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ide
Don't you give up, baby, don't you cry
Don't you give up 'til I reach the other si-i-i-i-ide
Ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo (hold me tender, baby)
Ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo (you remember, bbay)
Ooo-ooo (I know, I know, baby)
Ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo (I know, I know, baby)
The Mountain's High Video (MV)
"The Mountain's High" is a 1961 hit R&B song written and performed by the California duo Dick and Dee Dee.
The song has unusual special characteristics, being - at least in part - pentatonic. The instrumentation consists of two alternating minor bass-chords, played at the very bottom of the pitch-range of an electric-guitar. The guitar is minor-open-tuned. For most of the song, the two bass-chords are played in descending order, but for the alternative sections, two different bass-chords are played in ascending order.
Each of the two singers (who co-wrote the song) recorded two vocal tracks. It featured Dick St. John Gosting's overdubbed falsetto and Dee Dee Phelps's harmony. Produced by the Wilder Brothers and Don Ralke, it was released as the B-side of "I Want Someone". It was flipped inadvertently by a San Francisco DJ and became an immediate hit with local listeners. Liberty Records of Los Angeles soon signed on the artists for national distribution.
