Sam Amidon - Blue Mountains Lyrics

Da da da
Da da da
Da da da
da da

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
da da da
da da 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

da da da
da da da
da da da
da da

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

da da da
da da da
da da da
da da
