VERSE 1
D G D
I left my old home back in the mountains
D A
For many long years I roamed around
D G D
I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
D A D
I'm going back there to settle down
G D
I love those Carolina mountains
D A
And the little girl I left behind
D G D
But I know I'll never forget her
D A D
Oh, how I long to make her mine
VERSE 2
D G D
I looked out my window and wondered
D A
If everything there looks the same
D G D
I can see the blue eyes of my darlin'
D A D
I'm going back there to change her name
CHORUS
G D
I love those Carolina mountains
D A
And the little girl I left behind
D G D
But I know I'll never forget her
D A D
Oh, how I long to make her mine
