Words and Music by Ballard Macdonald and Harry Carroll

In the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia

On the trail of the lonesome pine

In the pale moon shine our hearts entwine

Where she carved her name and I carved mine
b-8 -8 7 b-7 7 -8 b-7 7
Oh, June, like the mountains I’m blue
-8 b-7 7 b-7 6 -7 7 b-8 -8
Like the pine I am lonesome for you

In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia

On the trail of the lonesome pine
