A story of two they loved each other

More than anyone will ever know

But the girl she took the old consumption

It broke the boy’s heart you know

Ooooh Ooooh It broke the boys heart you know

They carried her up to the mountain

To try to gain her health you see

But listen all you good people

You can never cure old TB

Ooooh Ooooh you can never cure old TB

He often would go up to the mountain

And sit among the sweetheart’s bed

But the saddest part of all the story

Now the boy too is dead

Ooooh Oooh Now the boy too is dead

They buried them both on the mountain

They sleep together at rest

The old TB took them to heaven

God up yonder knows best

Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh
