[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

[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

[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
