Lyrics
A story of two men loved each other
More than anyone will know
But the girl she took the other's sunshine
It broke the boy's heart in two
Ooh, ooh
It broke the boy's heart in two
They carried her up to the mountain
To try again to help you see
But the medicine thought you could give her
You could never cure old TB
Ooh, ooh
You could never cure old TB
He often would go up to the mountain
And sit upon his sweetheart's bed
But the saddest part of all the story
Now the boy up to his head
Ooh, ooh
Now the boy up to his head
They buried them both in the mountain
They sleep together at rest
The old TB took them to heaven
God of the young girls' best
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
More than anyone will know
But the girl she took the other's sunshine
It broke the boy's heart in two
Ooh, ooh
It broke the boy's heart in two
They carried her up to the mountain
To try again to help you see
But the medicine thought you could give her
You could never cure old TB
Ooh, ooh
You could never cure old TB
He often would go up to the mountain
And sit upon his sweetheart's bed
But the saddest part of all the story
Now the boy up to his head
Ooh, ooh
Now the boy up to his head
They buried them both in the mountain
They sleep together at rest
The old TB took them to heaven
God of the young girls' best
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
