G                    

Ridin' the night in the high cold wind
          D                                 D

On the trail of the old lonesome pine
Thinkin' of you, feelin' so blue
Wonderin' why I left you behind

C                     G   

Get down boys, go back home
D                          G

Back to the girl you love
C                           G   

Treat her right never wrong

   D                               G
   How mountain gals can love

Remember the night we strolled down the lane
Our hearts were gay and happy then
You whispered to me as I held you close
We hoped the night would never end
