Why Did You Wander

Why Did You Wander - Flatt/Scruggs

Oh why oh why did you wander

Why did you ever roam

When you know that we always were happy

All alone in our old mountain home

It was down in the old Cumberland Mountains

Down in the hills of Tennessee

As she waited alone in the moonlight

It was there that she waited for me

Oh why oh why did you wander

Why did you ever roam

When you know that we always were happy

All alone in our old mountain home

Oh why did you leave me little darling

Why did you leave me alone

For you know I'd be lonely without you

All alone in our old mountain home

Oh why oh why did you wander

Why did you ever roam

When you know that we always were happy

All alone in our old mountain home

I hope you will always be happy

No matter where you may roam

And I hope to be with you up in Heaven

As we were in our old mountain home

Oh why oh why did you wander

Why did you ever roam

When you know that we always were happy

All alone in our old mountain home

Oh why oh why did you wander

Why did you ever roam

When you know that we always were happy

All alone in our old mountain home
