Verse 1
I asked the maiden fair
Turned my back upon her
when she looked, she wasn't there
A

She left me standing way up there
Where the honey bees are buzzin'
round the flowers there
That is where she vanished,
somewhere in that mountain there

I just saw a whippoorwill a

They were both a -laughin'
bout her givin' me the air
A

She left me standin' way up there
Think I'll build a cabin
that will stand the stormy wear
And keep a -watchin' for that gal
and hopin' she'll appear

If she comes around the mountain,
I'll be waiting there
I will tell her that she's caught
my lovin' in her snare

She left me standing way up there
First time that I saw her
she looked like an angel there
Last time that I saw her
she looked sweet and cute and fair

I will keep on searching for
that little maiden fair
And if I do not find her,
you will find my body where

She left me standing way up there
I would give most anything
if once more she'd appear
And tell me that she'd get
a little farther smilin'
A

She'd let me standing way up there
