Get at them boys, go back home, back to the girl you love.

Treat her right, never wrong, how mountain girls can love.

Riding at night in a high cold wind

On the trail of the old lonesome pine,

Thinking of you baby, feeling so blue,
E A
Wondering why I left you behind.

Get at them boys, go back home, back to the girl you love.

Treat her right, never wrong, how mountain girls can love.

There's a lake in the hills where my true love goes.
E A
That's when she's thinking of me.

Why I'm not there, only heaven knows,
E A
Heaven knows that's where I'd rather be.
