carolina blue – dark mountainside lyrics
[verse 1]
i never cared for things love had to offer
i said it wouldn’t let it cut me down
but just one look at her, oh how my heart did yearn
for the little girl with her hair sandy brown
[verse 2]
just one short month that we had been together
when i thought i would surely make her mine
when i knew that another loved her too
and he stole my little sweetheart in the night
[verse 3]
for three whole months i followed close behind him
across the hills and valleys so wide
but when i caught him there, my heart filled with despair
for in that moment, he had took her now
[verse 4]
can’t you hear them whippoorwills a+cryin’
just to listen to their sad, mournful sounds
on a dark mountainside, beneath the starry sky
she’s sleepin’ out there, on the cold, cold ground
[verse 5]
he fled like a coward in the darkness
and i pursued with everything i had
when he got caught in the brush, i emptied out my gun
and i left him there to face death’s bitter judgment
[verse 6]
i’m there with my mary on the hillside
right next to my place where she fell
as the tears swelled in my eyes, that cold, dreadful night
i knew that i would never love again
[verse 7]
can’t you hear them whippoorwills a+cryin’
just to listen to their sad, mournful sounds
on a dark mountainside, beneath the starry sky
she’s sleepin’ out there, on the cold, cold ground
