My little sweetheart of the mountains
With hair as red as anybody's
And her lips as sweet as honey
She shines like the morning stars

Meet me out in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Underneath the lonesome pine
We'll settle down up there forever
Mary Jane won't you be mine

I'm going back to North Carolina
Where the mountain tops are blue
Mary Jane you know I love you
And I'm coming back to you

* Refrain
