The Black Hills of Dakotaby Doris Day
-
Take me back to the black hills
The black hills of Dakota
To the beautiful Indian country
That I love
Lost my heart in the black hills
The black hills of Dakota
Where the pines are so high
That they kiss the sky above
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
So take me back to the black hills
The black hills of Dakota
To the beautiful Indian country
That I love
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
So take me back to the black hills
The black hills of Dakota
To the beautiful Indian country
That I love
To the beautiful Indian country
That I love Writer/s: PAUL FRANCIS WEBSTER, SAMMY FAIN
