...and there's Big Rock Candy Mountain--Burl Ives and many artists since...
Likely nobody even my age remembers Wolverton Mountain even though it's been parodied out the wazzoo at the time, and most notably by El Clod's "Tijuana Border".
"One of these days I'm going to climb that mountain
Walk up there among the clouds
Where the cotton's high and the fields are gowing
And there ain't no fields to plow" via Walter Brennan, in "Old Rivers".

At this time I'll add a snippet of an Indigo Girls tune that made it to the big screen in 2023:
And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions...
(Closer To Fine)
...and then mention an obscure song from the 50's / 60s that was the flip side of the Fess Parker hit, "Davy Crockett"...which I should have thought to mention when I posted to @50+ Music that there was a debate over what that was exactly. At MY house, the flip side was "The Ballad of John Coulter".
Sing of the bravest mountain man;
Sing of the strong and the fleet--
Colter's courage was in his heart
And his speed was in his feet.
