(chorus) 
C              G 
Get down boys, go back home 
D                     G 
back to the girls you love. 
C                G 
Treat her right, never wrong 
D                     G 
how mountain gals can love. 
 G                     
Riding in the night in the high cold wind, 
         D                         G 
on the trail of that old lonesome pine. 
 G                         
Thinkin' of you and feeling so blue, 
           D                G 
wondering why I left you behind. 
(to chorus) 
 G                     
Remember the night when we strolled down the lane 
         D                         G 
our hearts were gay and happy then 
 G                     
you whispered to me as I held you close 
           D                G 
I hope this night will never end.
