[Verse 1]

Darling will y

ou marry me I 

asked a maiden

 fair
I turned my back upon her when I looked she wasn't there

[Chorus]
             
She left me st

              
anding (standi

She left me st

            
anding way up 


there

[Verse 2]

Where the hone

ybees are buzz

ing round the 

flowers there
That is where she vanished somewhere in that mountain air

[Chorus]
             
She left me st

              
anding (standi

[Verse 3]

I just saw the

 whippoorwill 

a-talking to a

 bear
They were both a-laughing 'bout her giving me the air

[Chorus]
             
She left me st

              
anding (standi

[Verse 4]

I would give m

ost anything i

And tell me that she cared a little for this mountaineer

[Chorus]
             
She left me st

              
anding (standi
