Chorus
Way down in the blue ridge mountain
Way down where the tall pines grow
Lives my sweetheart of the mountain
She's my little Georgia rose

Now come and listen to my story
A story that I think is true
My little rose that bloomed in Georgia
With the hair of gold, and the heart so true

* Refrain

Her mother left her with another
A carefree life she had planned
The baby now is a lady
The one her mother couldn't stand

* Refrain

We often sing those songs together
I watched her do her little part
She smiled at me when I would tell her
That she was my sweetheart

* Refrain
