UP ON ELK'S RIDGE where you promised to be mine
I carved your initials in that evergreen pine
'N whenever I would see you down at Coggin's feed
With your Daddy by your side you'd always sneak a wink at me

Gosh, I couldn't sleep, back then I'd lie nights in my bed
With visions, oh, so private rushin' thru my head 'n
Whenever I would see you they'd replay in my thoughts
'N I'd flush that you might see them 'n somehow I'd be caught

Chorus:
Yes up on Elk's Ridge where it all began
I was a boy becoming a man
2. I was your boy but now I'm your man
and you were a girl a lady to be
2. And you're still my girl the lady for me
And we made our commitment
Beneath that evergreen tree
Yes, you 'n me, babe up on Elk's Ridge

Well, our children, they've grown up and all but moved away
Its been many'a year now since that so-eventful day
And, darlin' my feelings they've grown but haven't changed
You're still my young sweetheart so let's go back again
