Lyrics

I never cared for things love had to offer
I said it wouldn't let it cut me down
But just one look at her, oh how my heart did yearn
For the little girl with her hair sandy brown
Just one short month that we had been together
When I thought I would surely make her mine
When I knew that another loved her too
And he stole my little sweetheart in the night
For three whole months I followed close behind him
Across the hills and valleys so wide
But when I caught him there, my heart filled with despair
For in that moment, he had took her now
Can't you hear them whippoorwills a-cryin'
Just to listen to their sad, mournful sounds
On a dark mountainside, beneath the starry sky
She's sleepin' out there, on the cold, cold ground
He fled like a coward in the darkness
And I pursued with everything I had
When he got caught in the brush, I emptied out my gun
And I left him there to face death's bitter judgment
I'm there with my Mary on the hillside
Right next to my place where she fell
As the tears swelled in my eyes, that cold, dreadful night
I knew that I would never love again
Can't you hear them whippoorwills a-cryin'
Just to listen to their sad, mournful sounds
On a dark mountainside, beneath the starry sky
She's sleepin' out there, on the cold, cold ground
