[Verse 1]
In a little white house by the railroad along the trace from the lowlands
My love and I did live
Crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains through the blackest balsam, twisted laurel hells
Ne'er a body or soul forgive
The green, green grass and the fertile fields of deer and rabbit fine
Oh, it's heaven and it's mine
When a maiden of the mist, she took my hand and led me to the golden light
Pulled a plow straight in a line

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, walk me down, down to the valley below
Where the snow still falls in April
And the mists don't leave 'til noon
In the hills of Swannanoa


[Verse 2]
Just a sprite of the woods, just a spirit of the river running by
Oh, a nymph playing under the trestle
A little baby girl, a baby born with dazzling water in her eyes
In the grotto of her daddy's heart did nestle

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, walk me down, down to the valley below
Where the snow still falls in April
And the mists don't leave 'til noon
In the hills of Swannanoa

[Verse 3]
Then it rained, Lord, it rained, for seven days and nights
A rain we'd never seen or never see again
Oh, a hundred years or more from now to ever
Pulled the trestle from its footing
The house from its foundation
The root from the rock it's coverin'
Drowned the prisoners in the penitentiary
Then the waves, the black waves, waves of water, they took hold
Folded over and pulled her in
Oh, it rained, Lord, it rained
Oh, the tears came pouring down like rain

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, walk me down, down to the railroad track
Where she runs along the riverbank
Where the sweet spring's flowing in
In the hills of Swannanoa
Hey, hey, hey, walk me down, down to the valley below
Where the snow still falls in April
And the mists don't leave 'til noon
In the hills of Swannanoa
