MY CLINCH MOUNTAIN HOME
       
 G
 Far away on the hill on a sunny mountain side,
        C                                     G
 Many years ago we parted, my little Ruth and I,
          D              G
 From the sunny mountain side.
       G
 She clung to me and trembled when I told her we must part, 
       C                                            G
 She said don't go my darling, it almost breaks my heart 
              D          G
 To think of you so far apart. 
 
CHORUS:              
          C              G               D                   G          
 Carry me back to old Virginia, back to my Clinch Mountain home.
          C              G              D                G          
 Carry me back to old Virginia, back to my old mountain home. 
     D   G   D   G      C   G     D                G
   Yodelling                      Oh, my mountain home.

SOLO: 
 
     G
 I fold my arms around her, lean her head upon my breast,
     C                                                                                  
 I told her I would wed her when I come back from the West,
        D                   G
 At my old Clinch Mountain home.
        G
 In my hand I hold a picture of the old home far away,
        C                                                                 
 In the other one my sweetheart I'm thinking of today,
         D               G
 On the sunny mountain side.         
 
CHORUS:              
          C              G               D                   G          
 Carry me back to old Virginia, back to my Clinch Mountain home.
          C              G              D                G          
 Carry me back to old Virginia, back to my old mountain home. 
     D   G   D   G      C   G     D                G
   Yodelling                      Oh, my mountain home.
