Why Did You Wander lyrics

Oh, why oh why did you wander Why did you ever roam When you know that we always were happy All alone in our old mountain home It was down in the old Cumberland Mountains Down in the hills of Tennessee As she waited alone in the moonlight It was there that she waited for me Oh why did you leave me little darling Why did you leave me alone For you knew I'd be lonely without you All alone in our old mountain home I hope you will always be happy No matter where you may roam And I long to be with you up in heaven As we were in our old mountain home
