Bluegrass Songs - Carry me back to the mountain

Carry me back to the mountains

    Carry me back to the mountains
    Back neath 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

  * Refrain

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

  * Refrain

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

  * Refrain
