| Can’t you hear the night birds cryin'
|
| Can’t you hear that lonesome dove
|
| Sayin' won’t you come back darlin'
|
| To the only one you love
|
| Meet me out on the mountain
|
| Underneath the lonesome pine
|
| Where we vowed we’d love each other
|
| Darlin', say won’t you be mine
|
| Where the moun-tain laurel’s bloomin'
|
| And the wild-wood blossom grows
|
| There we vowed to love each other
|
| In our child-hood long ago
|
| There I left my little darlin'
|
| Lord I’ve rambled for so long
|
| Many times I’ve prayed to see her
|
| Now I’m on my way back home |
