How Mountain Girls Can Love
Love's Trail: A Journey Through Heartache and Longing
Lyrics
Get at 'em boys, go back home
Instruction to the group of individuals (boys) to return home
Back to the girl you love
Emphasis on going back to the loved one
Treat her right, never wrong
Advising to treat the girl with respect and not make mistakes
How mountain girls can love
Reference to the unique way mountain girls express love
Ridin' at night in a high cold wind
Describing a journey at night in a challenging environment
On the trail of the old lonesome pine
Following a trail in pursuit of something (potentially a metaphor)
Thinking of you baby
Thoughts about a significant other while riding
Feelin' so blue
Expressing a feeling of sadness or melancholy
Wondering why I left you behind
Reflecting on the decision to leave someone important
Get at 'em boys, go back home
Reiteration of the advice to return home
Back to the girl you love
Repeating the importance of going back to the loved one
Treat her right, never wrong
Emphasizing the need to treat the girl well and avoid wrongdoing
How mountain girls can love
Reiteration of the special nature of love from mountain girls
There's a lake in the hill
Description of a specific location (lake in the hill)
Where my true love goes
Indication of where the true love goes
That's when she's thinkin' of me
Connection between the lake and thoughts of the speaker
Why I'm not there only heaven knows
Expressing uncertainty about the reasons for separation
Heaven knows that's where I'd rather be
Desire to be with the loved one in the mentioned location
Get at 'em boys, go back home
Repetition of the advice to return home
Back to the girl you love
Reiteration of the importance of going back to the loved one
Treat her right, never wrong
Emphasizing the need to treat the girl well and avoid wrongdoing
How mountain girls can love
Reiteration of the special nature of love from mountain girls
