I walked past the old veranda, where Granddad sat a-rockin′
He was gazing at the mountains, and he didn't hear me knockin′
He smiled as I approached him, said, "How's my Sally's boy?
" The wind was quietly whistlin′, as he told me of his joy
There′s a fortune in those hills, and I'm gonna find it someday
There′s a fortune in those hills
And I'm gonna find, it′s gonna be mine
I'm gonna find it someway
He picked up his steel-string guitar, and started the upward climb
I just quietly followed, carryin′ the bread and the wine
We reached a stone and sat awhile, Granddad wiped my brow
He looked at me like a brother, said, "Boy, it ain't far now."
There's a fortune in those hills, and I′m gonna find it someday
There′s a fortune in those hills
And I'm gonna find, it′s gonna be mine
I'm gonna find it someway
There′s a fortune in that cabin, your granddad knows too well
There's a man in there with long black
Hair, he′s a man you'll never sell
Huh!
I watched him push the door, he turned and waved goodbye
The face I saw in there, I'll remember all my life
Gripped by cool attraction, I followed where Granddad stepped
When I walked inside, just rats and flies were left
There′s a fortune in those hills, and I′m gonna find it someway
There's a fortune in those hills, I′m gonna find, it's gonna be mine
I′m gonna find it someday
There's a fortune in those hills, and I′m gonna find it someday
There's a fortune in those hills
And I'm gonna find, it′s gonna be mine
I′m gonna find it someway
