Verse 1:
G C G
Two trees on the hillside of the mountain
D C G
Always looking up towards the sky

Who lived there 80 years before they died
Chorus:
G C G
Now the bright moon is shining in the valley

That old wagon leans against a stack of hay

Two graves on the hillside by a cabin

The fallen snow around the red bud tree
The branches of the laurel by the creek bed
And the rippling waters of the gentle stream
Chorus
Verse 3:
Now papa used to talk about the young days
When he and mama first settled there
He spoke about the love of the mountains
That he and mama shared together there
