I had a gal in the mountains
She told me that she would be true
But she messed around with the other men
Just what she shouldn′t do
Now that's why I left the mountains
That′s why I went to roam
That's why I ain't never going back
Back to my mountain home
She told me that she′d meet me
One night at half past eight
And I stood there for a long long time
But my gal was two days late
That′s why I left the mountains
That's why I went to roam
That′s why I ain't never going back
Back to my mountain home
I said we′d get married
I told her time and again
But I can't stand that kind of a gal
That fools with other men
That′s why I left the mountains
That's why I went to roam
That's why I ain′t never going back
Back to my mountain home
I like good corn liquor
And I drink all that I can
But my gal said she would never wed
Another drinking man
Now that′s why I left the mountains
That's why I went to roam
That′s why I ain't never going back
Back to my mountain home
