There's a girl in the mountain that I call my mountain honey And I love her like the flowers love the dew All the fellars try to claim her but someday I'm gonna claim her 'Cause my wild mountain honey loves me to She's my wild mountain honey and I love her yes I do She's as sweet as any honey in the comb She's as pretty as the flowers that are blooming in the mountains And I'm going to marry her and bring her home Oh I met her in the Smokey Mountains down in Tennessee When the mountain laurel was blooming in the spring Everything is bright and sunny and I'm saving up my money For my wild mountain honey's wedding ring
