[Intro] Far away on a hill, thou a sunny mountain side Many years ago we parted, my little Ruth and I From the sunny mountain side [Verse] Hey girls, stop that noise! Yonder comes a strange car up our road Lord, it may be the revenue-officer It has a Texas license Oh, that's Jimmie Rodgers! Hey – hey, howdy Folks, dee – yodel – ay – hee – hee Ha – ha, so this is Virginia? Yes Sir, mighty glad to see you, Jimmie! Get out and come right in! You are the first cowboy we've seen in a long time He – he, is that so? Boy it's a long way from here to Texas Man – Man, I didn't know it's such a drive from Texas to Virginia Well, I'm here anyhow Gee! I've been wanting to see you, Folks, for a long time How about a little drink, Jimmie? Ha – ha, Boy that sounds good to me, dee – yodel – ay – hee – hee Man – Man, come and go get the old boy a little squirt, will you? Girls, you all play him a little tune Make him feel like he's at home while he's at Maces Springs [Outro] My little Darling, oh how I love you How I love you, none can tell In your heart you love another Little Darling, pal of mine
