Standing on the mountain



Darling, will you marry me I asked a maiden fair
I truned my back upon her when I looked she wasn't there



    She left me standing ( standing ) on the mountain
    She left me standing way up there



Where the honeybee are buzzing round the flowers there
That is where she vanished, somewhere in that mountain air



 * Refrain



I just heard the whippoorwill a-taking to the bear
They were both a-laughing about her giving me the air



 * Refrain



I would give most anything if once more she'd appear
And tell me that she cared a little fot this mountaineer



 * Refrain
