I left my old home back in the mountains For many long years I roamed around I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin' I'm going back there to settle down. I love those Carolina mountains And the little girl I left behind But I know I'll never forget her Oh, how I long to make her mine. I looked out my window and wondered If everything there looks the same I can see the blue eyes of my darlin' I'm going back there to change her name. I love those Carolina mountains And the little girl I left behind But I know I'll never forget her Oh, how I long to make her mine...
