Come from the hills of Ole Caroline
With the heart of a woman on his mind
Salem to Nothern Levisa
Love her till the end of his life
From the cities of the Tars and the Bars
Nothing more he could have carried on his back
Left his hometown back then and he never went back
He never went back
Can you hear the hills moan
An old forgotten Jimmie Rodger's song
I may come around but I'll be gone, I'll be gone
In the springtime she had bear'nd his children
And it was time for them to wed
He married her by the levisa like all of the rest
And I wished them the best, I wished them the best
Like all good things they must come, they must go
Like all of the young men Rufus got old
He left this old world believing you'll reap what you sow
You'll reap what you sow, you'll reap what you sow
Can you hear the hills moan
An old forgotten Stanley Brothers song
I may come around but I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Yes Lord, I'll be gone
He'd come from the hills of ol Carolina
