I left the one that love in the mountains
And all the love we shared
But each night as she kneels by her bed side
I know she calls my name in her prayer
When the moon shines on the blue ridge mountains
And it seems I can hear my sweetheart call
How I long to be near my darlin'
when the golden leaves begin to fall
She knows that I'll return to the mountains
And will bring to her a wedding ring
It will be placed upon her finger
Happyness to us both it will bring
* Refrain
Winter time is so cold in the mountains
The ground will soon be covered white with snow
How I long to keep the home fires burning
For I know my darling needs me so
* Refrain
