[Verse 1:]
Just across the mountains in a valley down below*
Lived a girl I mer back years ago
Her eyes shined like diamonds her hair was of gold
But that was before she left me all alone
[Chorus:]
How she lives in my memory today
Oh how I miss her warm and touching ways
And someday I hope she'll want to go
Back to the mountains and the valley down below
[Verse 2:]
One day she came to me and said I have to go
My family is moving I thought you'd want to know
But I'll never forget you and your smiling face
And the way that you held me with your warming grace
