Can't you hear the night birds cryin' Can't you hear that lonesome dove Sayin' won't you come back darlin' To the only one you love. Meet me out on the mountain Underneath the lonesome pine Where we vowed we'd love each other Darlin', say won't you be mine. Where the moun-tain laurel's bloomin' And the wild-wood blossom grows There we vowed to love each other In our child-hood long ago. There I left my little darlin' Lord I've rambled for so long Many times I've prayed to see her Now I'm on my way back home
