Across The Blue Mountain lyrics

ACROSS THE BLUE MOUNTAIN

One morning, one morning, on morning in May
I overheard a married man to a young girl say
`Arise you up, Pretty Katie, and come along with me
Across the Blue Mountain to the Allegheny

`I`ll buy you a horse, love, and a saddle to ride
I`ll buy me another`n to ride by your side
We`ll stop at every tavern and drink when we are dry
Across the Blue Mountain goes Katie and I`

Well, up stepped her mother, in anger she was then
`Daughter, dear daughter, he is a married man
Besides, there`s young men a plenty is handsomer than he
Let him take his own wife to the Allegheny`

`Oh mother, dear mother, he`s the man of my heart
Wouldn`t it be an awful shame for me and my love to part
I`d envy all the women that ever I did see
Across the Blue Mountain to the Allegheny`

Well the last time I seen him, he was saddled to ride
Katie, his darling, was there by his side
A laughing and a singing and happy to be free
Across the Blue Mountain to the Allegheny
