[E]
Now upon Echo Mountain, in the spring [A] of 32,
[E] Jim and Becky Johnson, [B] with a Bible and a mule,
[E] set out to raise a family.
But the babies [A] didn't come, [E] so when they found that old stray hound, [B] they loved him like [E] a son.
But soon their prayers were answered, the baby had [A] his mama's eyes.
[E] How that old dog loved him, he [B] would never leave his side.
[E] They could always trust that faithful hound, with the baby they [A] all loved, [E] till the day the child was missing, [B] and the dog was [E] drenched in blood.
Now [A] the cries on Echo Mountain are a painful [E] thing to hear.
All the neighbors know the reason [B] for the Johnson's bitter tears.
[E] When a man don't use good judgment, it's the innocent [A] who pay.
[E] Now the cries on Echo Mountain [B] will haunt me [E] to this day.

Jim picked up his rifle, he shot and [A] killed the hound.
Oh, [E] but there inside the cabin was [B] the baby safe and sound.
When [E] they found the back door open, and two [A] wolves lying still, [E] they knew they'd made a grave mistake.
With [B] the righteous blood they [E] spilled.
Now upon Echo Mountain, you'll find a [A] lonesome grave, [E] marked with the handmade marble stone that [B] reads, God Bless the Brave.
[E] When Daddy tells the story of the dog that [A] saved my life, [E] he always asks forgiveness, and [B] the tears still [E] fill his eyes.
