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
