I'd appreciate the missing lyrics in the third verse: I left my old home back in the mountains For many long years I roamed around I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin' I'm going back there to settle down I love those Carolina mountains The little girl I left behind And I know that I never will forget her Oh, how I long to make her mine I looked out my window and wondered How everything there seems the same I can see those blue eyes of my darlin' I'm going back there to change her name I thought I'd head for the big time I thought her bright eyes would be my guide .... .... |

17 Jan 12 - 05:34 PM (#3291750) Subject: ADD: Carolina Mountain Home From: Joe Offer Here's my attempt. I think it's pretty close. CAROLINA MOUNTAIN HOME (Len Wright & E. L. Scarborough) (as sung by Debby McClatchy on Sweet Sunny South) I left my old home back in the mountains For many long years I roamed around I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin' I'm going back there to settle down CHORUS I love those Carolina mountains And the little girl I left behind And I know that I never will forget her Oh, how I long to make her mine I look out the window this mornin' Everything there is the same I can see those blue eyes of my darlin' I'm going back there to change her name CHORUS [instrumental break] I thought I was headed for the big time I thought those bright lights would be my guide But now I miss those fields of blackeyed susans And the sweetest girl to be my bride. CHORUS ...Yes, how I long to make her mine. I'm not totally sure of that last line, but that's what it sounds like to me. This recording is 2:50 minutes. She has a longer one, 3:55 minutes, on the Ancient Tones album. I don't believe that either CD included lyrics - I put them in deep, dark storage once I ripped the albums to MP3, so I can't find the CD booklets right now. I e-mailed the lyrics to Debby for final clarification. She may not be able to respond for a few weeks. On Ancient Tones, the second verse is a bit different from what I posted above. Here's what I hear:
Oh, everything there was the same I can see those blue eyes of my darlin' I'm going back there to change her name |
