I took a trip up Gillis Mountain
On a sunny summer day
There were ruts in the road and the four wheel drive
Spun it's wheels in the rocks and the clay
Yes it spun it's 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 fore-fathers once made hay
Where our fore-fathers once made hay.
Chorus:
-------
And oh - oh - oh Gillis Mountain
Oh - oh - oh Where fore-fathers once made hay.
The Gillis' lived on the mountain
For about a hundred years
Where we pick berries they cleared land
Spent their blood and sweat and tears
They spent their blood and sweat and tears.
Chorus:
-------
And oh - 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 whitecaps on a sea of blue
Sparkled like diamonds in the night
They sparkled like diamonds in the night.
Chorus:
-------
And oh - oh - oh Gillis Mountain
Oh - oh - oh Sparkled like diamonds in the night x2
La la la la la la la la la la x3
Sparkled like diamonds in the night 1x slow, no guitar
