King Of The Mountain Lyrics - George Jones

I gave her that diamond she dreamed of, 

And I bought her a home with a view; 

I took her to the ends of the rainbow, 

But all I left her was blue. 

Seems I never had time to love her, 

Now it seems time just stands still; 

I thought I was king of the mountain, 

But I was only a fool on the hill. 

Chorus: 

Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely, 

Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill; 

I thought I was king of the mountain, 

But I was only a fool on the hill.

Chorus: 

Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely, 

Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill; 

I thought I was king of the mountain, 

But I was only a fool on the hill. 

I thought I was king of the mountain, 

But I was only a fool on the hill...
