Can't you hear the night bird's crying
Can't you hear the lonesome dove
Saying,"Won't you come back, darling
To the only one you love?" Meet me out on the mountain
Underneath the lonesome pine
There we vowed we'd love each other
Darling, say won't you be mine Pretty mountain laurels blooming
Pretty wild wood flowers grow
There we vowed we'd love each other
In our childhood long ago Meet me out on the mountain
Underneath the lonesome pine
There we vowed we'd love each other
Darling, say won't you be mine There I left my little darling
Lord, I've rammbled for so long
Many nights I prayed to see her
Now I'm on my way back home Meet me out on the mountain
Underneath the lonesome pine
There we vowed we'd love each other
Darling, say won't you be mine
