Lyrics The Stanley Brothers

The Stanley Brothers

Say Won't You Be Mine

Can't you hear the night birds 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 wildwood flowers grow

There we vowed we'd love each other

In our childhood long ago

Then I left my little darling

Lord, I wandered for too long

Many nights I longed to see her

Now I'm on my way back home
