Red Dog Ash Cathedral lyrics

I am a mountain man
Born a Scot, but now in the free land
My daddy preached the word of God
Spoiled no son and he spared no rod

And the Lord has called me to save His land

On the banks of the Ohio
I make my way to the Gulf of Mexico
Step by step across this land
I set out to see the Lord's invention

And the Lord has called me to save His land

Eastward gaze from Pacheco Pass

Behold such beauty unsurpassed
Granite walls and the Merced River
She glows with life to draw her lovers

These hills of light are callin' me home
Finest cathedral that I have known

Cast from Eden despised and wretched
The serpent's come to destroy Hetch-Hetchy
Hear those devils shout and holler
To drown this temple for the mighty dollar
