Carry me back to the mountains
Carry me back to the mountains Back neath the southern sky Lay me to rest in the mountains There's where my sweetheart lies I get so lonesome and weary No matter where I roam So carry me back to the mountains Back to my home sweet home * Refrain Iwas a wild careless yongster Longing to roam from the start I left my home in the mountains And broke my poor darling's heart * Refrain I caught a train at the crossing And never told her goodbye Then someone wrote me a letter And told me my sweetheart had died * Refrain
