Darling will you marry me, I asked a maiden fair
I turned my back upon her, when I looked she wasn't there
She left me standing, standing on the mountain
She left me standing way up there
Where the honey bees are buzzin' round the flowers there
That is where she vanished somewhere in that mountain air
She left me standing, standing on the mountain
She left me standing way up there
I just saw a Wip-por-will a talkin' to a bear
They were both a laughin' about givin' me the air
She left me standing, standing on the mountain
She left me standing way up there
I would give most anything if she would reappear
And tell me she'd get her father's mountain ears
She left me standing, standing on the mountain
She left me standing way up there
