Carter Family My Clinch Mountain Home
Far away upon a hill on a sunny mountain side
Many years ago we parted, my own true love and I From the
sunny mountain side
Oh she clung to me and trembled, when I told her we must
part
And she said don't go my darling I know twill break my
heart
When we two are far apart
Carry me back to old Virginia back to my clinch mountain
home
Carry me back to old Virginia back to my old mountain
home
My mother's old and feeble and my father's getting gray
Carry me back to old Virginia for its there I want to
stay
Oh I held her in my arms leaned her head upon my breast
And I told her that I'd wed her when I come back from the
west
To my old clinch mountain home
In my hand I hold a picture of the old home far away And
the picture of my sweetheart
I'm thinking of today
On the sunny mountain side
