A#                    D#                                         A#
Mountain lady do you sit on your front porch in the cool of the day
A#        F7            D#                                      A#
Mountain lady did you think your kids would ever come back to stay
A#                      D#                                A#
Mountain lady does the columbine still twine around your door
            F7                            D#
And did you ever get a rug To cover the cracks
                                      A#
where my diaper drug on your wooden floor

Chorus:
       D#                      A#               D#
Oh you Appalachian lady once I was your little baby
         A#                                  F7
And you rocked me in your homemade rocking chair
         D#                                  A#           D#
Since I heard the wild goose calling I have done a lot of falling
          A#          F7                 A#
Mountain lady someday I'll come to you there

Mountain lady does the country church bell ring on Sunday morn
Mountain lady do you still wear that old apron ragged and torn
Mountain lady on winter nights before our old fireplace
As you look into the flame do you ever call
my name and do you see my face

Chorus

Mountain lady
