carolina blue - take me to the mountains lyrics

[verse 1]
while walkin’ down a lonely city street
i chase there an old man i didn’t meet
as i knelt there by his side, the tears came to his eyes
when he gently took my hand, and said to me:
“when i was just a boy back on the farm
i remember mom and daddy’s love so warm
oh, how i long to go back to those carolina hills
and the little one+room shack where i was born

[chorus]
take me to the mountains that i love
where the timber gently bends in the wind
where the hound+dogs chase the possums
and the mountain log blossoms
take me to the mountains that i love
take me to the mountains that i love

[verse 2]
heather ’round the farm+place in the evening
many times i’d sat on mama’s knee
while she’d read to me the bible by the old leonard lye
and in memory, now, i hear her voice as sweet
warmer days we’d camp out in the springtime
went up on the head of canny creek
where i’d listen to the whippoorwills callin’ in the night
while the katydids would sing me, oh, to sleep
[chorus]
take me to the mountains that i love
where the timber gently bends in the wind
where the hound+dogs chase the possums
and the mountain log blossoms
take me to the mountains that i love
take me to the mountains that i love.”
