  D             A  
 Get down boys, go back home  
  E                    A  
 back to the girl you love.  
  D                 A  
 Treat her right, never wrong  
  E                      A  
 How mountain girls can love.  
 
  A   
 Riding in the night in the high cold wind  
          E                         A                        
 on the trail of that old lonesome pine.  
 
 Thinking of you and feeling so blue  
            E               A  
 Wondering why I left you behind.  
 
 
 (Chorus)  
 
 
 Do you remember the night when we strolled down the lane  
 Our hearts were gay and happy then.  
 And you whispered to me as I held you close  
 I hope this night will never end.  
 
 (Chorus)
