Cabin on the Mountain

Don't you dare let the wind move into our cabin on the mountain,
I just know I'll be back, I'll come home with the first green in May.
They can't keep me behind walld, I get out when the ground smells of planting.
So don't you dare let me down, please stay around for my home-coming day.

     You were the daughter of a drummer,
     Moving from town to little town,
     Looking like a snow-flake in the summer,
     When I asked you to stop and settle down.

     We built a cabin on the mountain,
     We were as happy as July,
     When along cae a drummer fro Baltimore
     And you left me, I thought I would die.

     I lived seven months in loneliness.
     Then come your letter: 'Take me home.'
     When I come to fetch you from the tenement,
     I could see that man beat you to the bone.

     Then from the bedroom stepped the drummer man,
     Says to me, 'Let go of my wife.'
     Lord I wish I knew just what came over me.
     Wish I'd never seen a knife.

Don't you dare let the wind move into our cabin on the mountain,
I just know I'll be back, I'll come home with the first green in May.
They can't keep me behind walld, I get out when the ground smells of planting.
So don't you dare let me down, please stay around for my home-coming day.
