I thought this song was traditional, but I guess it's not. Does it have the same melody as "Sourwood Mountain"? DOUGLAS MOUNTAIN (words by Arnold Sundgaard, music by Alec Wilder) Cedars are growin' on Douglas Mountain Cedars are growin' so high Cedars are growin' on Douglas Mountain Joining the earth to the sky / Joining the earth to the sky Snows are a-fallin' on Douglas Mountain Snows are a-fallin' so deep Snows are a-fallin' on Douglas Mountain Puttin' the bears to sleep / Puttin' the bears to sleep Trimmin' the wicks on Douglas Mountain Shinin' my chimney so bright Trimmin' the wicks on Douglas Mountain So God can bring the night / So God can bring the night Sun's goin' down on Douglas Mountain Nights are so long and so cold Sun's goin' down on Douglas Mountain And I am feelin' old / And I am feelin' old ©1964 TRO Hampshire House Publishing and Ludlow Music, New York NY Source: Sing Out!
