Carolina Mountain Home

I left my old home back in the mountains

For many long years I roamed around

I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin'

I'm going back there to settle down.

I love those Carolina mountains

And the little girl I left behind

But I know I'll never forget her

Oh, how I long to make her mine.

I looked out my window and wondered

If everything there looks the same

I can see the blue eyes of my darlin'

I'm going back there to change her name.

I love those Carolina mountains

And the little girl I left behind

But I know I'll never forget her

Oh, how I long to make her mine
