G C G
Mountain lady do you sit on your front porch in the cool of the day
G D7 C G
Mountain lady did you think your kids would ever come back to stay
G C G
Mountain lady does the columbine still twine around your door
D7 C G
And did you ever get a rug To cover the cracks where my diaper drug on your wooden floor
[Chorus]
G C G C
Oh you Appalachian lady once I was your little baby
G D7
And you rocked me in your homemade rocking chair
C G C
Since I heard the wild goose calling I have done a lot of falling
G D7 G
Mountain lady someday I'll come to you there
[Break]

G C G
Mountain lady does the country church bell ring on Sunday morn
D7 C G
Mountain lady do you still wear that old apron ragged and torn
G C G
Mountain lady on winter nights before our old fireplace
D7 C G
As you look into the flame do you ever call my name and do you see my face
[Chorus]
G C G C
Oh you Appalachian lady once I was your little baby
G D7
And you rocked me in your homemade rocking chair
C G C
Since I heard the wild goose calling I have done a lot of falling
G D7 G
Mountain lady someday I'll come to you there
