John Denver - How Mountain Girls Can Love
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the autograph album, and has also been released on the changes album.
Get at ’em boys, go back home
Back to the girl you love
Treat her right, never wrong
How mountain girls can love
Ridin’ at night in a high cold wind
On the trail of the old lonesome pine
Thinking of you baby
Feelin’ so blue
Wondering why I left you behind
Get at ’em boys, go back home
Back to the girl you love
Treat her right, never wrong
How mountain girls can love
There’s a lake in the hill
Where my true love goes
That’s when she’s thinkin’ of me
Why I’m not there only heaven knows
Heaven knows that’s where I’d rather be
Get at ’em boys, go back home
Back to the girl you love
Treat her right, never wrong
How mountain girls can love
