Going Across The Mountains

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
