Lyrics:

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