The Black Hills Of Dakota Lyrics

[Verse 1: Doris Day]
Take me back to the Black Hills
The Black Hills of Dakota
To the beautiful Indian country
That I love

[Verse 2: Doris Day]
Lost my heart in the Black Hills
The Black Hills of Dakota
Where the pines are so high
That they kiss the sky above

[Chorus 1: Doris Day]
And when I get that lonesome feelin'
And I'm miles away from home
I hear the voice of the mystic mountains
Callin' me back home

[Verse 3: Doris Day with Vocal Quartet]
So take me back to the Black Hills
The Black Hills of Dakota

To the beautiful Indian country
That I love

[Chorus 2: Vocal Quartet with Doris Day]
And when I get that lonesome feelin'
And I'm miles away from home
I hear the voice of the mystic mountains
Callin' me back home

[Verse 4: Doris Day with Vocal Quartet]
So take me back to the black hills
The black hills of Dakota

To the beautiful Indian country
That I love

[Outro: Doris Day and Vocal Quartet]
To the beautiful Indian country
That I love
Take me back to the Black Hills
To the beautiful Indian country that I love
