about

An acapella ballad love story. Picture rolling Appalachian hills, misty forests. And riding horseback.

lyrics

One morning, one morning, one morning, in May
I overheard a handsome man to a young girl say
Go dress you up pretty Katy and come along with me
Across the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Allegheny

I'll buy you a horse love and a saddle to ride
I'll buy me another and ride my your side
We'll stop at the taverns and drink when we're dry
Across the Blue Ridge Mountains goes Katy and I

They left before daybreak on a buckskin and a roan
Past dark shivering pine trees where the mockingbirds roam
Past dark cabin windows where eyes may never see
Across the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Allegheny
