I'm looking for the lyrics to "White Oak Mountain/Kitchen Girl" sung by Sally Rogers.

You could try asking her via her web site, http://www.sallyrogers.com   which does contain contact info.
I met her in the early 80s, when she was on tour in England. She was travelling light, so borrowed my banjo when she played out local folk club. She was a memorably nice person.
Quack!
GtD.

There's a video YouTube where The Milltown Band performs APPALACHIAN ROUND followed by the traditional song WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN and the instrumental KITCHEN GIRL. The accompanying text gives these lyrics:


WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN

Oh, do you remember that rocky mountain side where we sat down to rest?
You promised you'd be my blue-eyed boy with the sun goin' down in the west.

I wish to the Lord I'd never been born, or died when I was young.
I'd never have seen your blue eyes shine, or heard your lyin' tongue.

Now hand me down my old white coat, it's a-hangin' there on the nail.
Before this time tomorrow night I'll be out on that long-lost trail.

I never will believe what no man says, though his eyes be blue or brown,
Unless he's hangin' from the scaffold high sayin' "Darlin', I can't come down."


Another version of WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN, as sung by Lily May Ledford, was posted here.

Mike Seeger also recorded WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN.

Excellent!

I'll be singing it at our performance.

Thanks to everyone for the help :)
