Crossing Over Black Mountain

Crossing Over Black Mountain

I’m crossing over Black Mountain
I can almost see that home of mine
I’m crossing over Black Mountain
For the very last time

It’s a long way to go from Kentucky
Down through the hills of Tennessee
Just a few more days if I’m lucky
And I’ll hold the one who means the world to me
I’m crossing over Black Mountain
I can almost see that home of mine
I’m crossing over Black Mountain
For the very last time

I’ve been on this road since September
It’s sure been a long and lonesome ride
I wonder if she will remember
She promised that she’d be my bride
I’m crossing over Black Mountain
I can almost see that home of mine
I’m crossing over Black Mountain
For the very last time

The snow starts to fall in November
The hoot owl cries homesick at night
I’ll be by her side come December
We’ll sit by the warm fire light

I’m crossing over Black Mountain
I can almost see that home of mine
I’m crossing over Black Mountain
For the very last time


I’m crossing over Black Mountain
For the very last time
