Down off of Ragged Mountain,by that old blue swimming hole;
I saw that Sugar Hollow Girl, and my heart she stole.
We sat and put our feet in, that cold, cold mountain stream;
She told me all about her, ragged Mountain dreams.
I saw her everyday, and held her every night;
I’ve never had a love, that ever felt that right.
When autumn changed the leaves, and there was early snow;
She took my hand and said, babe I got to go.
Sugar Hollow Girl, go ahead and see the world
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
The things you leave behind, I think one day you’ll find
They’re the things that you are wishing on
Didn’t say where she was going, or give me her address;
She was ashamed of where she came from, I guess.
I don’t go back to Ragged Mountain, I probably never will;
I can’t forget that girl, I think about her still.
Sugar Hollow Girl, go ahead and see the world
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
The things you leave behind, I think one day you’ll find
They’re the things that you are wishing on
I see her every night, when I close my eyes;
Walking in my dreams, against that mountain sky.
I can almost feel her, and smell her sweet, sweet skin;
I’d give up everything, to hold her once again.
Sugar Hollow Girl, go ahead and see the world
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
The things you leave behind, I think one day you’ll find
They’re the things that you are wishing on
I saw that Sugar Hollow Girl, and my heart she stole.
We sat and put our feet in, that cold, cold mountain stream;
She told me all about her, ragged Mountain dreams.
I saw her everyday, and held her every night;
I’ve never had a love, that ever felt that right.
When autumn changed the leaves, and there was early snow;
She took my hand and said, babe I got to go.
Sugar Hollow Girl, go ahead and see the world
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
The things you leave behind, I think one day you’ll find
They’re the things that you are wishing on
Didn’t say where she was going, or give me her address;
She was ashamed of where she came from, I guess.
I don’t go back to Ragged Mountain, I probably never will;
I can’t forget that girl, I think about her still.
Sugar Hollow Girl, go ahead and see the world
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
The things you leave behind, I think one day you’ll find
They’re the things that you are wishing on
I see her every night, when I close my eyes;
Walking in my dreams, against that mountain sky.
I can almost feel her, and smell her sweet, sweet skin;
I’d give up everything, to hold her once again.
Sugar Hollow Girl, go ahead and see the world
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
The things you leave behind, I think one day you’ll find
They’re the things that you are wishing on
