Goin' Across the Mountain

Goin' across the mountain

Oh, fare you well

Goin' across the mountain

Hear my banjo tell

I got my rations on my back

My powder it is dry

I'm goin' 'cross the mountain

Chrissie, don't you cry

I'm goin' 'cross the mountain

To join the boys in blue

When the war is over

I'll come back to you

I'm goin' across the mountain

If I have to crawl

I'll give old Jeff's men

A little of my rifle ball

Way before it's good daylight

If nothing happens to me

Oh, I'll be way down yonder

In old Tennessee

I expect you'll miss me when I'm gone

But I'm going through

When the war is over

I'll come back to you

Goin' across the mountain

Oh, fare you well

Goin' across the mountain

Oh, fare you well

Goin' across the mountain

Oh, fare you well

Goin' across the mountain

Oh, fare you well
