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,
(chorus)
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,
(verse 2)
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,
(chorus)
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 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,
