Across the Blue Ridge Mountains
Rising Appalachia

One morning, one morning, one morning in May

I overheard a married man to a young girl say

Go dress you up, Pretty Katie, and come along with me

Across the Blue Mountains to the Allegheny.


I'll buy you a horse, love, and a saddle to ride

I'll buy myself another to ride by your side

We'll stop at every tavern we’ll drink when we’re dry

Across the Blue Mountains goes my Katie and I


Then up spoke her mother, and angry was she then

Bright daughter, oh dear daughter, he is a married man

Besides, there's young men plenty more handsome than he

Let him take his own wife to the Allegheny


But mother, oh dear mother, he's the man of my own heart

And wouldn't it be a dreadful thing for me and my love to part

I'd envy every woman who ever I did see

Who Crossed the Blue Mountains to the Allegheny


Well the last time I saw him, he was saddled to ride

With Katie, his darling, right there by his side

A laughing and a singing and thankful to be free

To cross the Blue Mountain to the Allegheny


They left before daybreak on a buckskin and a roan

Past tall shivering pine trees where mockingbirds moan

Past dark cloudy windows where eyes may never see

Across the Blue Mountains to the Allegheny


One morning, one morning, one morning in May

I overheard a married man to a young girl say

Go dress you up, Pretty Katie, and come along with me

Across the Blue Mountains to the Allegheny.
