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
