Lyrics for My Clinch Mountain Home

Far away on a hill to sunny mountain side Many years ago we parted, my little Ruth and I From the sunny mountain side She clung to me and trembled when I told her we must part She said, "Don't go my darling, it almost breaks my heart To think of you, so 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 I fold my arms around her, leaned her head upon my breast I told her I would wed her when I came back from the west At my old clinch mountain home In my hand I hold a picture of the old home far away In the other one my sweetheart I'm thinking of today On the sunny mountain side 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, my father's getting gray I'm going back to Virginia and I expect to stay At my old, clinch mountain home Carry me back to old Virginia Back to my clinch mountain home Carry me back to old Virginia Back to my old mountain home
