Verse 1

C                  F           C
I left my old home back in the mountains
G7
For many long years I roamed around
F                                C
I can hear that lonesome whistle blowing
G7                             C
I'm going back there to settle down

Verse 2

F                     C
I love those Carolina mountains
G7
And the little girl I left behind
C               F            C
But I know I'll never forget her
G7                        C
Oh how I long to make her mine

Verse 3

C               F          C
I looked out my window and wondered
G7
If everything there looks the same
C             F               C
I can see the blue eyes of my darling
G7                                 C
I'm going back there to change her name

Verse 2

F                     C
I love those Carolina mountains
G7
And the little girl I left behind
C               F            C
But I know I'll never forget her
G7                        C
Oh how I long to make her mine
