Over The Mountain
John Hartford
Bluegrass: An American Tradition
Banjo tuned Eb, Capo 4, Key: A
A D
Like always my heart, it is easy
A
Not a care in this world have I
D
Cause I am in love with Nellie
E7 A
I couldn't forget it if I tried
Chorus:
Yes, far away over the mountain
Where little birds sing in the trees
And the cabin is covered with ivy
My honey is waiting for me
Yes over, yes over the mountain
Where the little birds sing in the trees
And the cabin is covered with ivy
And my honey, waits for me
Instrumental:
Today, I bid good-bye to my honey
That day I'll never forget
Her tears bubbled up from their slumber
I fancy that I see them yet
They looked like little pearls in the ocean
As she wept her tears of love
Saying my Johnny, my boy, don't forget me
To be here and or above
Chorus;
Yes over, yes over the mountain
