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 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 saw 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 for this mountaineer
* Refrain
