Why why did you wander
My whole worlds upside down
There's no light in the window
I'm alone in our old mountain home
It was down in the Cumberland Mountains
Down in the hills of Tennessee
Where you said you would wait for me darling
But you never waited for me
So, tell me why why did you wander
My whole worlds upside down
And there's no light in the window
I'm alone in our old mountain home
Why why did you leave me
Why did you leave me alone
You knew we were all so happy
All alone in our old mountain home
So, tell me why why did you wander
My whole worlds upside down
And there's no light in the window
I'm alone in our old mountain home
- Instrumentals-
Down in the Cumberland mountains
Back in the hills of Tennessee
You said you'd wait for me darling
But you never waited for me
I hope you will always be happy
No matter wherever you may roam
And I hope you'll think of darling
And you won't think of our old mountain home
Why why did you wander
My whole worlds upside down
There's no light in the window
I'm alone in our old mountain home
So, tell me why why did you wander
My whole worlds upside down
And there's no light in the window
I'm alone in our old mountain home
