Standing on the mountain
Darling, will you marry me I asked a maiden fair I truned my back upon her when I looked she wasn't there She left me standing ( standing ) on the mountain She left me standing way up there Where the honeybee are buzzing round the flowers there That is where she vanished, somewhere in that mountain air * Refrain I just heard the whippoorwill a-taking to the bear They were both a-laughing about her giving me the air * Refrain I would give most anything if once more she'd appear And tell me that she cared a little fot this mountaineer * Refrain
