In the big pine woods on Willow Creek Mountain
Is where I was raised to be a man
And it seems all the good things that spawn in my memory
Are tied to that Willow Creek land

The big dozier rumbles on Willow Creek Mountain
The saw steals the life from the trees
The water is rising on Willow Creek Mountain
And the dam that they said had to be


Refrain
So dam the men who dams up the river
And dam the men who dam the life I've known
Dam the world thats so ever changing
For it robbed me of my Willow Creek home

The black smoke is rolling on Willow Creek Mountain
Her beauty will fade with the land
The world won't remember Willow Creek Mountain
Or the price paid for progress of man

* Refrain

The black smoke is rising on Willow Creek Mountain,
From the ashes that once was my home.
They've moved daddy's grave off of Willow Creek Mountain
To a strange ground that he's never known.

When the cold water covers Willow Creek Mountain,
Her beauty will fade with the land.
The world won't remember Willow Creek Mountain,
or the price paid for progress by man.

* Refrain
