1.     Well, they called me Crazy Ollie, I was born a mountain man.
                                              Em
       I sailed the sea from Norway, far to plow the prairie land.
            C                    G                                         Em
       The sun was hot and the sky was big, and the soil, it sure smelled fine.
              C                                                             G
       So I state my claim and I hitched my team, and I called the prairie mine.

2.     Yeah, the sky was big and the land was big, and flat as flat could be.
       I felt that I was lost somewhere on a dried out silent sea.
       I lost my sleep, and my wag would thread, and she'd said: "Well I declare."       
       What a silly fool to be looking for a mountain that ain't there. 

            D         G       C7        G
Ref.   Oh, land and sky. Oh, land and sky.
            C                                                   Em
       But never a place for a mountainman to rest his mind and eye.

3.     She said I was a sinful man, and she made it pretty clear.
       If the good Lord so intended, he would make a mountain here.
       Well, he hasn't yet I told her, and I guess he never will.
       But if he won't make a mountain, then by God, I make a hill.

            D         G       C7        G
Ref.   Oh, land and sky. Oh, land and sky.
            C                                                   G
       But never a place for a mountainman to rest his mind and eye.

4.     So, I grabbed my big nice shovel, and I piled the sun all high.
       And pretty soon the mighty man was reaching for the sky.
       Well, they called me Crazy Ollie, and I said that may be true.
       But the man who climbs the highest peak will get the better view.

            D         G       C7        G
Ref.   Oh, land and sky. Oh, land and sky.
            C                                                   Em
       But never a place for a mountainman to rest his mind and eye.

5.     So, now you know my story of Crazy Ollies' mount.
       A man who had an urge to lift his eyes up from the ground.
       If you ask me what I've got, for all my sweat and pain.
       I built the only mountain on the North-Dakota plains.

            D         G       C7        G
Ref.   Oh, land and sky. Oh, land and sky.
            C                                                   G
       But never a place for a mountainman to rest his mind and eye.

            D         G       C7        G
Ref.   Oh, land and sky. Oh, land and sky.
            C                                                   Em
       But never a place for a mountainman to rest his mind and eye.

    Utrolig mange feil i denne teksten,- både rene stavefeil og ord som gir feil mening. Hvorfor ikke sjekke teksten i boken "Byes beste",- der de fleste av Erik Byes viser står med korrekt tekst, og dessuten med historier knyttet til.
  • Jasså (Gjest)
