Ridin' the night in the high cold wind
On the trail of the old lonesome pine
Thinkin' of you, feelin' so blue
Wonderin' why I left you behind

   Get down boys, go back home
   Back to the girl you love
   Treat her right never wrong
   How mountain gals can love

Remember the night we strolled down the lane
Our hearts were gay and happy then
You whispered to me as I held you close
We hoped the night would never end
