Riding the night in the high cold winds On the trail of the old lonesome pine Thinking of you, feeling so blue Wondering why you left me behind [Chorus] Get down boys, go back home Back to the girl you love Treat her right, never wrong How mountain girls can love Remember the night we strolled down the lane Our hearts were gay and happy then You whispered to me as I held your close You hoped this night would never end [Chorus: x2]
