When the mountain dew starts to fall And the green, green grass begins to grow That's when I realized I loved you That's why I'm on my way back home Back to the one I love so dearly Back to the one that I love so Back to that girl I've spent some time with Back to my little mountain home When the mountain dew starts to fall And the green, green grass begins to grow That's when I realized I loved you That's why I'm on my way back home I've been away from my home for so long, dear That I feel like a stranger in my home No one will ever realize, dear That I'm just a drifter on the run When the mountain dew starts to fall And the green, green grass begins to grow That's when I realized I loved you That's why I'm on my way back home When the mountain dew starts to fall And the green, green grass begins to grow That's when I realized I loved you That's why I'm on my way back home That's why I'm on my way back home That's why I'm on my way back home
