[1] Darling will you marry me I asked a maiden fair
I turned my back upon her when I looked she wasn't there

She left me [4] standing (standing) on the [1] mountain
She left me [4] standing [5] way up [1] there

Where the honey bees are buzzing round the flowers there
That is where she vanished somewhere in that mountain air

I just saw the whippoorwill a-talking to a bear
They were both a-laughing 'bout her giving me the air

I would give most anything if once more she'd appear
And tell me that she cared a little for this mountaineer
