Why did you wander
Oh, why oh why did you wander Why did you ever roam When you know that we always were happy All alone in our old mountain home Why down in the old Cumberland Mountains Down in the hills of Tennessee There she waited alone in the moonlight There's she's waiting for me * Refrain Oh, why did you leave me little darling Why did you leave me alone When you knew I'd be lonesome without you All alone in our old mountain home * Refrain I hope that you'll always be happy It don't matter wherever you roam And I long to be with you up in heaven As we were in our old mountain home * Refrain
