Lyrics

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 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
