Frank Proffitt, _ _ [F] a tobacco farmer and banjo picker of the Smoky Mountains, _ had a grandfather
who taught him a lot of songs. _ _ _ _
His grandfather taught him the song Tom Dooley, and Frank
taught the song to all of us.
_ _ But I thought I'd sing another [C] song that his grandfather
taught him, a true story of [F] _
about a hundred years ago. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] I'm going [Dm] across [C] the mountains, oh fare you well,
Going across the [F] mountains, you can hear my banjo tell. _ _
Got my rations on my back, my potter, it is [Gm] dry.
Going across the [F] mountains, oh Chrissy, don't you cry.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Way before [C] it's good daylight, [Dm] if nothing happens [C] to me,
I'll [F] be way down yonder in old Tennessee.
Going across the mountains, oh fare you well,
Going across the mountains, you can hear my banjo [C] tell.
