Going Across the Mountains

Frank Proffitt

I'm goin' across the mountains
Oh fare ye well
Goin' 'cross the mountains
You can hear my banjo tell
Got my rations on my back
My powder it is dry
Goin' across the mountains
Oh Chrissy don't you cry

Goin' across the mountain
To join the boys in blue
When this fightin's over
I'll come back to you

Goin' across the mountains if
I have to crawl to give old Jeff's men a
Little o' my rifle ball
'Speck you'll miss me when I'm gone
But I'm goin' through
When this fightin's over
I'll come back to you
Way before it's good daylight
If nothin' happens to me
I'll be way down yonder, in old Tennessee
Goin' across the mountain, oh fare ye well
Goin' 'cross the mountain
You can hear my banjo tell

Goin' across the mountain, oh fare ye well
Goin' 'cross the mountain
Chrissy fare you well
Goin' across the mountain
To join the boys in blue
When this fightin's over
I'll come back to you
