Why Did You Wander Lyrics - Bill Monroe

Oh, why, oh why did you wander? 

Oh, why did you ever roam? 

When you know that we always were happy 

All alone in our old mountain home 

It was down in the old Cumberland Mountains 

Down in the hills of Tennessee 

As she waited alone in the moonlight 

It was there that she waited for me 

Oh, why, oh why did you wander? 

Oh, why did you ever roam? 

When you know that we always were happy 

All alone in our old mountain home 

Oh, why did you leave me little darling? 

Why did you leave me alone? 

For you know I'd be lonely without you 

All alone in our old mountain home 

Oh, why, oh why did you wander? 

Oh, why did you ever roam? 

When you know that we always were happy 

All alone in our old mountain home 

I hope you will always be happy 

No matter where you may roam 

And I hope to be with you up in Heaven 

As we were in our old mountain home 

Oh, why, oh why did you wander? 

Oh, why did you ever roam? 

When you know that we always were happy 

All alone in our old mountain home 

Oh, why, oh why did you wander? 

Oh, why did you ever roam? 

When you know that we always were happy 

All alone in our old mountain home
