(I was listening to the "Perro Sessions", a jam with Jerry Garcia, David Crosby, Grace Slick, Paul Kantner, and others - and got the inspiration to turn their rendition of "Mountain Song" into a call and response chant. The tune from Perro Sessions is HERE - I sing it, badly, HERE, just so you get the gist of it - the lines in italics are chanted in a lower key - play with it! And if you come up with your own rendition of it, record it and send it to me and I'll share it!)
Let the Mountains Be My Home
Gonna let the mountains be my home
And there I’ll let my people roam
Gonna let the mountains be my home
Where Moses met me through the cloud
Gonna let the mountains be my home
And Elijah cried to me aloud
Gonna let the mountains be my home
Where Jesus sat for forty nights
Gonna let the mountains be my home
And kept me ever in his sight
Gonna let the mountains be my home
Up my switchbacks may you climb
Gonna let the mountains be my home
What you’re seeking may you find
Gonna let the mountains be my home
Up my canyons steep and long
Gonna let the mountains be my home
I hear the echo of your song
Gonna let the mountains be my home
I hear the stepping of your feet
Gonna let the mountains be my home
To the summit where we’ll meet
Gonna let the mountains be my home
And there I’ll let my people roam
Gonna let the mountains be my home
Gonna let the mountains be my home
Gonna let the mountains be my home
