          many years ago we parted, my little Ruth and I,
                                     D                                    G  
          from the sunny mountain side.
                          G  
          She clung to me and trembled when I told her we must part,
                        C                                                                                                                      G  
          she said don't go my darling, it almost breaks my heart
                                             D                            G  
          to think of you so far apart.

                  C                                                                                                                                    G

                             D                                                 G  
          at my old Clinch Mountain home.
