kossoy sisters - across the blue mountains lyrics

one morning, one morning
one morning in may
i overheard a married man to a young girl did say
“go dress you up pretty, katy
and come along with me
across the blue mountains
to the allegheny”

“i’ll buy a horse, love
and a saddle to ride
i’ll buy me another
to ride by your side”

“we’ll stop at every tavern
we’ll drink when we’re dry
across the blue mountains
goes my katy and i”

then, up+spoke her mother
and angry was she then
saying, “daughter, o+daughter
he is a married man
besides there are young men plenty
much handsomer than he
let him take his own wife to the allegheny”
“but mother, o+mother
he’s a man of my own heart
and wouldn’t it be a dreadful thing
for me and my love to part
i’d envy every woman that ever i did see
going ‘cross the blue mountains
to the allegheny”

and the last time i seen him
he was saddled to ride
and katy, his darling, was there by his side
a+laughing and a+singing
so glad to be free
to cross the blue mountains
to the allegheny
