Why did you wander

Oh why oh why did you wander
Oh why did you ever roam
When you know that we always were happy
All alone in our old mountain home

It was down in the old cumberland mountains
Down in the hills of tennessee
As she waited alone in the moonlight
It was there that she waited for me

Oh why did you leave me little darlin
Why did you leave me alone
For you knew I'd be lonely without you
All alone in our old mountain home
