Going Across The Mountain

As Sung By Judy Cook

chorus:
Goin’ ‘cross the mountain
Oh fare thee well
Goin’ ‘cross the mountain
Oh fare thee well

Got my rations on my back
My powder it is dry
Goin’ ‘cross the mountain
Chrissy don’t you cry.

Goin’ ‘cross the mountain
To join the boys in blue
When this war is over
I’ll come back to you.

Goin’ ‘cross the mountain
If I have to crawl
To give Jeff’s men a little taste
Of my rifle ball

Way before it’s good daylight
If nothing happens to me
I’ll be way out yonder
In old Tennessee

‘Spect you’ll miss me when I’m gone
But I’m goin’ through
When this fighting’s over
I’ll come back to you
