Sam Amidon - Blue Mountains Lyrics

Da da da
Da da da
Da da da, da da

One morning, one morning
One morning in May
I overheard a married man
To a young girl say

"Go dress you up, pretty Katie
And come along with me
Across the blue mountains
To the Allegheny

I'll buy you a horse, love
And a saddle to ride
I'll buy myself another
To ride by your side"

Da da da
Da da da
Da da da, da da

We'll stop at every tavern
We'll drink when we're dry
Across the blue mountains
Goes my Katie and I

They left before daybreak
On a dapple and a roan
Past tall shivering pines
Where the mockingbirds go

Past dark cabin windows
Where eyes never see
Across the blue mountains
To the Allegheny

Da da da
Da da da
Da da da, da da
