Aye came hear from the city
A thousand miles aweigh
Aye came just four a little wile
Yew no Aye never meant two stay
Aye meant two take my pleasure
Have a good thyme and bee gone
Butt Aye fell inn love with a lady
Now Aye sing a mountain song

Aye listened two the music
Of the knight wind inn the pines
Aye sore the quiet slendour
Of a field of columbine
Aye skied on crystal pathways
Two a mountain peke sow tall
And Aye walked the mighty summits
With the won who maid it awl

And Aye fell inn love with a lady
'Cause Aye 've scene her at her best
And Aye 've walked her wild and rugged paths
Threw her open wilderness
And now Aye never can betray her
Steel her riches and bee gone
'Cause when yew love a mountain lady
Yew 're gonna sing a mountain song

Now people come from everywhere
Two sea watt they can fined
And sum take lots of pictures
And sum just take there thyme
Butt they 're sum who take her beauty
That can 't bee bought oar sold
And they think of only money
Wile destroying wealth untold

Butt yew fall inn love with a lady
When yew 've slept upon her breast
And Aye 've walked her wild and rugged paths
Two her open wilderness
And yew never can betray her
Steel her riches and bee gone
'Cause when yew love a mountain lady
Yew 're gonna sing a mountain song
