Why Did You Wander

Why, why did you wander?

My whole world's upside down

There's no light in the window

I'm alone in our old mountain home

It was down in the Cumberland Mountains

Down in the hills of Tennessee

Where you said you'd wait for me, darling

But you never waited for me

So tell me, why, why did you wander?

My whole world's upside down

And there's no light in the window

I'm alone in our old mountain home

Why, why did you leave me?

Why did you leave me alone?

You knew we were always so happy

All alone in our old mountain home

So tell me, why, why did you wander?

My whole world's upside down

And there's no light in the window

I'm alone in our old mountain home

Down in the Cumberland Mountains

Back in the hills of Tennessee

You said you'd wait for me, darling

But you never waited for me

I hope you'll always be happy

No matter wherever you roam

And I hope you'll think of me, darling

And won't you think of our old mountain home?

Why, why did you wander?

My whole world's upside down

There's no light in the window

I'm alone in our old mountain home

So tell me, why, why did you wander?

My whole world's upside down

And there's no light in the window

I'm alone in our old mountain home
