Lyrics Ricky Skaggs

Ricky Skaggs

Say, Won't You Be Mine

Can't you hear the night birds cryin'

Can't you hear that lonesome dove

Sayin' won't you come back darlin'

To the only one you love.

Meet me out on the mountain

Underneath the lonesome pine

Where we vowed we'd love each other

Darlin', say won't you be mine.

Where the moun-tain laurel's bloomin'

And the wild-wood blossom grows

There we vowed to love each other

In our child-hood long ago.

There I left my little darlin'

Lord I've rambled for so long

Many times I've prayed to see her

Now I'm on my way back home
