my clinch mountain home - the carter family lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
far away on a hill to sunny mountain side
many years ago we parted, my little ruth and i
from the sunny mountain side
she clung to me and trembled when i told her we must part
she said, “don’t go my darling, it almost breaks my heart
to think of you, so far apart”

[chorus]
carry me back to old virginia
back to my clinch mountain home
carry me back to old virginia
back to my old mountain home

[verse 2]
i fold my arms around her, leaned her head upon my breast
i told her i would wed her when i came back from the west
at my old clinch mountain home
in my hand i hold a picture of the old home far away
in the other one my sweetheart i’m thinking of today
on the sunny mountain side

[chorus]

[verse 3]
my mother’s old and feeble, my father’s getting gray
i’m going back to virginia and i expect to stay
at my old, clinch mountain home

[chorus]
