Pete Seeger - Going Across the Mountains lyrics

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
