The Trees on the Mountains Lyrics
The trees on the mountains are cold and bare
The summer jes' vanished an' left them there
Like a false-hearted lover jes' like my own
Who made me love him, then left me alone
The coals on the hearth have turned gray and sere
The blue flame jes' vanished an' left them there
Like a false-hearted lover jes' like my own
Who made me love him, then left me alone
Come back, O summer, come back, blue flame
My heart wants warmin', my baby a name
Come back, O lover, if jes' fer a day
Turn bleak December once more into May
The road up ahead lies lonely an' far
There's darkness around me an' not even a star
To show me the way or lighten my heart
Come back, my lover, I fain would start
The pore baby fox lies all cold in his lair
His mama jes' vanished an' left him there
Like a false-hearted lover jes' like my own
Who made me love him, then left me alone
Come back, O summer, come back, blue flame
My heart wants warmin', my baby a name
Come back, O lover, if jes' fer a day
Turn bleak December once more into May
Come back, O summer, come back, blue flame
My heart wants warmin', my baby a name
Come back, O lover, if jes' fer a day
Turn bleak December once more into May
Come back! Come back! Come back!
