Oh, why oh why did you wander
|
Why did you ever roam
|
When you know that we always were happy
|
All alone in our old mountain home
|
|
It was down in the old Cumberland Mountains
|
Down in the hills of Tennessee
|
As she waited alone in the moonlight
|
It was there that she waited for me
|
|
Oh why did you leave me little darling
|
Why did you leave me alone
|
For you knew I'd be lonely without you
|
All alone in our old mountain home
|
|
I hope you will always be happy
|
No matter where you may roam
|
And I long to be with you up in heaven
|
As we were in our old mountain home
|
