Lyrics and Chords
[1] Oh why oh why did you [4] wander [1] Why did you ever [5] roam When you [1] know that we always were [4] happy All [1] alone in our [5] old mountain [1] home
It was down in the old Cumberland Mountains Down in the hills of Tennessee As she waited alone in the moonlight It was there that she waited for me
Oh why did you leave me little darlin' Why did you leave me alone For you know I'd be lonely without you All alone in our old mountain home
Now I hope you will always be happy No matter where you may roam And I hope to be with you up in heaven As we were in our old mountain home
