Jim Dixon Lyr Req: I Told The Stars About You (11) Lyr Add: BACK HOME IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS 06 Jun 18


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."]
