How can I keep from crying ?
How can I keep from crying ?
How can I keep from crying ?
For I never expect to see you anymore

My home's across the blue ridge mountains
My home's across the blue ridge mountains
Home's across the blue ridge mountains
And I never expect to see you anymore

Oh, how I hate to leave you
Oh, how I hate to leave you
Oh, how I hate to leave you
For I never expect to see you anymore

* Refrain

So goodbye, my little darling
So goodbye, my little darling
So goodbye, my little darling
I never expect to see you anymore

* Refrain
