Thread Name: Lyr Req: White Oak Mountain
Subject: Lyr Add: WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN (from Lily May Ledford
'Muh'-Mario, I just looked up "Blue Eyed Boy" but I can see those are not the lyrics to White Oak Mountain that Lily May Ledford is singing.
I've been working on it and I think I've come up with all the words except for maybe some mistakes I don't realize.
I guess this could be added to the Lyric Search. Not sure how that process works.

WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN

Don't you remember that rocky mountain side
Where we sat down to rest
You promised to be my blue eyed boy
While the sun goes round in the west

Mary don't go, don't go little girl
Come back and see me once more
Fifteen cents all the money I got
Honey don't you want some change

All I want is a 44 gun
To blow outside them trains

I wish to the lord I've never been born
And died when I was young
Before I'd seen them pretty blue eyes
Or heard that lying tongue

Hand me down my old white hat
Its hanging there on a nail
Before this time tomorrow night
I'll ride out on that long, long trail

Oh I'll never believe what another man says
Though his eyes be blue or brown
Unless he says on the scaffold to be hung
Darling I wish to come down
