Carry Me Back to the Mountains Songtext
von Bashful Brother Oswald

Carry me back to the mountains
Back beneath 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

I was a wild careless youngster
Longing to roam from the start
I left my home in the mountains
And broke my poor darling's heart

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
