[Verse]

Bm
One morning, one morning,
G              A
One morning in May,
Bm
I overheard a married man
G               A
to a young girl say:

Bm
"Go dress you up pretty Katie,
G               A
come along with me,
Bm
across the blue mountains
G             A
to the Allegheny.

[Verse]

Bm
I'll buy you a horse love
G               A
and a saddle to ride,
Bm
I'll buy myself another
G               A
to ride by your side."


[Refrain]

[Verse]

Bm
We'll stop at every tavern,
G               A
we'll drink when we're dry.
Bm
Across the blue mountains
G               A
goes my Katie and I.

Bm
They left before daybreak
G               A
on a dapple and a roan,
Bm
past tall shivering pines
G                      A
where the mockingbirds go.

Bm
Past dark cabin windows
G                A
where eyes never see,
Bm
across the blue mountains
G             A
to the Allegheny...


[Refrain]

Bm G  A
Da da da,
Bm G  A
Da da da,
Bm G  A     Bm
Da da da da da.
