The sheet music:
Lyrics
1. Far in the hills of the old Cumberland
Long, long ago there we strolled hand-in-hand
I called her Blue Jeans, a wild mountain rose
I wonder now if she knows I’m sighing
Chorus:
Blue Jeans, the days are lonely
Blue Jeans, I dream of you
The wildwood May days and childhood play days
Those golden summer hours we knew
Songbirds are softly calling
Down where the grass is blue
The trail up yonder we used to wander
There, pretty Blue Jeans, I’ll wait for you
2. Springtime is here and the birds in the trees
Still sing to me all the old melodies
Far down the trail there I wander alone
But, olden joys long have flown, still I sing
