I left my old home back in the mountains
                             G7
For many long years I roamed around
                F                C
I can hear that lonesome whistle blowing
               G7              C
I'm going back there to settle down
 
  F                   C
I love those Carolina mountains
                           G7
And the little girl I left behind
      C         F        C
But I know I'll never forget her
          G7              C
Oh how I long to make her mine
 
  C             F          C
I looked out my window and wondered
                              G7
If everything there looks the same
      C        F              C
I can see the blue eyes of my darling
               G7                  C
I'm going back there to change her name
