When the golden leaves begin to fall
I left the one that love in the mountain And all the love we shared But each night as she kneels by her bed side I know she calls my name in her prayer When the moon shaines on the blue ridge mountain And it seems I can hear my sweetheart call How I long to be near my sweetheart call when the golden leaves begin to fall She knows that I'll return to the mountain And will bring to her a wedding ring It will be place upon her finger Happyness to both it will bring * Refrain Winter time is so cold in the mountain The ground will soon be covered white with snow How I long to keep the home fives burning for I know my darling needs me so * Refrain
