Here's the version I'm most familiar with, found in the Rise Up Singing songbook:

MY HOME'S ACROSS THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS
(Thomas C. Ashley © 1938, Southern Music Publishing)

My home's across the Blue Ridge (Smoky) Mountains
My home's across the Blue Ridge Mountains
My home's across the Blue Ridge Mountains

And I never expect to see you any more, more, more
And I never expect to see you any more.

I'm leavin' on a Monday mornin'...

Rock my baby, give her candy....

Where's the weaving (finger-ring) that I gave you?...

How can I keep myself from crying?...
