[Verse 1]
Have you Emheard the red hawk′s cCry
In the morEmning high on Roan BmMountain
When the Csun comes Gup over DCarolina Amhills
The Dwind sweeps softly through the Cpines
[Verse 2]
Have you Emseen the blue smoke rCise
From the cEmhimney down in the Bmvalley
Where the Cbig water Gwheel turns the Diron ore to Amsteel
DHarder than a heart that's made of Cstone
[Chorus]
DThe Gtrail
DWinds Gup
Past the Crocks and the Gboughs of the ARoan
And it′s Cleading me Gback to the Dold home 'neath the Ampines
DWhy did I decide to Croam
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
I had Emshared the stream with the Cwounded
I washed my Emeyes that were blind from the Bmgun smoke
And when the Cfighting was all Gdone and we Dknew that we had Amwon
We Dlaid our brothers in the Cground
[Verse 4]
Every Emspring I return to Roan CMountain
Just to Emsearch for the heart that was Bmlost there
And I Clook for the Gstones that mark Dlong forgotten Ambones
DHarder than the steel that cut them Cdown
[Chorus]
DThe Gtrail
DWinds Gup
Past the Crocks and the Gboughs of the ARoan
And it′s Cleading me Gback to the Dold home 'neath the Ampines
DWhy did I decide to Croam
[Solo]
[Verse 5]
Have you Emheard the red hawk′s cCry
In the Emmorning high on Roan BmMountain
When the Csun comes Gup over DCarolina Amhills
DWhy did I decide to Croam
