Blue Mountains

One morning, one morning
One morning in May
I overheard a married man
To a young girl say

Go dress you up pretty Katie
And come along with me
Across the blue mountains
To the Alleghany

da da da

I'll buy you a horse, love
And a saddle to ride
I'll buy myself another,
To ride by your side

We'll stop at every tavern
And drink when we're dry
Across the blue mountains
Goes my Katie and I

They left before daybreak
On a (...) and rode
Past tall shivering pines
Where the mocking birds go

Past dark cabin windows
Where eyes never see
Across the blue mountains
To the Alleghany
