Lyrics:
One morning, one morning, one morning in May I overheard a married man to a young girl say "Go dress you up, Pretty Katie, and come along with me Across the Blue Mountains to the Allegheny "I'll buy you a horse, love, and a saddle to ride I'll buy myself another to ride by your side We'll stop at every tavern we’ll drink when we’re dry Across the Blue Mountains goes my Katie and I" Then up spoke her mother, and angry was she then "Bright daughter, oh dear daughter, he is a married man Besides, there's young men plenty more handsome than he Let him take his own wife to the Allegheny" "But mother, oh dear mother, he's the man of my own heart And wouldn't it be a dreadful thing for me and my love to part I'd envy every woman who ever I did see Who Crossed the Blue Mountains to the Allegheny" Well the last time I saw him, he was saddled to ride With Katie, his darling, right there by his side A laughing and a singing and thankful to be free To cross the Blue Mountain to the Allegheny They left before daybreak on a buckskin and a roan Past tall shivering pine trees where mockingbirds moan Past dark cloudy windows where eyes may never see Across the Blue Mountains to the Allegheny One morning, one morning, one morning in May I overheard a married man to a young girl say "Go dress you up, Pretty Katie, and come along with me Across the Blue Mountains to the Allegheny
