Here's my transcription from the recording found on YouTube: BACK HOME IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS As recorded by Gene Autry in New York, June 30, 1932; released as Victor 23726. 1. The moon shines bright in my window. The stars are shining too, And it brings back to me Sweet memory Of the days when I wandered with you. CHORUS: Back home in the Blue Ridge Mountains— That's where I long to be. I know that you'll be waiting Beneath that old oak tree. I [can] hear those mountains callin'. Come home they seem to say, And I'll not stop to tarry. I'll soon be on my way. [yodel] 2. I recall the night that we parted, When fate took you away, And you promised me How true you would be Until I returned some day. CHORUS [The Discography of American Historical Recordings says: "Victor ledgers attribute the composition of the song to Gene Autry and Thomas Burton; U.S. Copyright Office files credit Autry only."]
