Cold mountains they are here around me
Cold waters gliding down the stream
Oh in my sleep I think I've found him
But when I wake it's just a dream

True when I wake and cannot find him
Along my bed a weeping morn
Just like the raindrops without numberin'
It's all because I'm left alone
It's all because I'm left alone

I hate the time when I must leave you
I hate the time when we must part
And though I've loved you without measure
Give me my hand and you'll have my heart

I'll come back home and we'll get married
I'll take you to the wedding bed
And you can love with me til morning
Upon my breast you lay your head

Cold mountains they are here around me
Cold waters gliding down the stream
Oh in my sleep I think I've found him
But when I wake it's just a dream
