River Deep, Mountain High
 
(Spector/Greenwich/Barry)

When you were a young girl
Did you have a rag doll
The only doll you've ever owned
Now I'll love you just the way you loved that rag doll
Only now my love has grown

It gets stronger as the river flows
Deeper baby, heaven knows
Higher, as it goes

Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby

When you were a young girl
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never never let you down

Cos it gets stronger as the river flows
It gets deeper baby, heaven knows
It gets higher, so much higher, as it goes

Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby

I love you baby like a flower loves a spring
I love you baby like a robin likes to sing
I love you baby like a schoolboy likes his pie
And oh I love you baby, River deep, Mountain high


Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby


DEEP PURPLE Mk1:
Ritchie Blackmore - Lead Guitar
Rod Evans - Vocals
Jon Lord - Organ, Piano, String Arrangements
Ian Paice - Drums
Nicky Simper - Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals
Following the success of the first Deep Purple album in the US, they quickly recorded this
album, based around a medieval pictorial book, about life, the universe, and everything, The
Book Of Taliesyn. The record made the top 50; the single, "Kentucky Woman", made the top
20.
The instrumental, "Wring That Neck" became a showcase for guitar and organ solos, and
stayed in the live set until 1971.
