Paroles de My Clinch Mountain Home

Far away upon a hill on a sunny mountain side Many years ago we parted, my own true love and I From the sunny mountain side Oh she clung to me and trembled, when I told her we must part And she said don't go my darling I know twill break my heart When we two are far apart (Refrain) Carry me back to old Virginia back to my clinch mountain home Carry me back to old Virginia back to my old mountain home My mother's old and feeble and my father's getting gray Carry me back to old Virginia for its there I want to stay Oh I held her in my arms leaned her head upon my breast And I told her that I'd wed her when I come back from the west To my old clinch mountain home In my hand I hold a picture of the old home far away And the picture of my sweetheart I'm thinking of today On the sunny mountain side (Refrain)
