Many years now have passed since I saw my darling last
|
But she waits alone there just for me
|
I'll be going back some day and I never more will stray
|
From that girl who stood by me
|
|
I've about forgot the tune and the West Virginia moon
|
But the North Carolina moon is just as bright
|
I'll n'er forget the time you promised to be mine
|
The moon was shining down that happy night
|
|
When I left her all alone in our little mountain home
|
I never thought of the day I'd return
|
Now I'm coming back to you love I know you've been true
|
What a price I've paid to live and learn
|
