[1] I left my old [4] home back in the [1] mountains
For many long years I roamed [5] around
I can [1] hear that [4] lonesome whistle [1] blowin'
I'm going back [5] there to settle [1] down

[4] I love those Carolina [1] mountains
And the little girl I left [5] behind
[1] But I know I'll [4] never forget [1] her
Oh how I [5] long to make her [1] mine

I looked out my window and wondered
If everything there looked the same
I can see the blue eyes of my darlin'
I'm going back there to change her name
