I but a vile, careless youngsterLonging to roam from the startI left my home in the mountainsI broke my poor darlin's heartSo carry me back to the mountainsBeneath those southern skiesLay me to rest in the mountainsThat's where my sweet heart liesI get so lonesome and wearyNo matter where I roamSo carry me back to the mountainsBack to my home, sweet home. . .. . .I like thatI get so lonesome and wearyNo matter where I roamSo carry me back to the mountainsBack to my home, sweet home. . .
