[Verse 1]
I've been thinkin' 'bout a place I once knew well
'Bout a girl I left across yonder bay
But I promise you one thing, my pretty darlin'
I know I'll see you on another day
[Chorus]
I may meet you on a mountain city
Or on the plains where the north wind blows
I may see you by the southern waters
Or by the Bay of Mexico
[Verse 2]
Now, the days are gettin' dark and chilly
The river's frozen, the meadows wrapped in snow
My heart is longin' for your singin' breezes
Down where the golden rivers flow
[Chorus]
So I may meet you on a mountain city
Or on the plains where the north wind blows
I may see you by the southern watеrs
Or by the Bay of Mexico
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Now, you may think I'm only talkin'
You may think I'm only gonna break your hеart
But I know where the grass is growin'
One true love may finally get its start
[Chorus]
So I may meet you on a mountain city
Or on the plains where the north wind blows
I may see you by the southern waters
Or by the Bay of Mexico
[Verse 4]
Now, I think I'm headin' for greener pastures
My train is travelin' on a straighter road
I think I'm learnin' things I've never learned before
And a hundred other things I never knowed
[Chorus]
So I may meet you on a mountain city
Or on the plains where the north wind blows
I may see you by the southern waters
Or by the Bay of Mexico
