Chorus:

These thousand hills can make a man dream,
Can make him lie awake at night and figger and scheme.
He dreams of fame, he dreams of gold,
And now and then he hankers for a woman to hold!
When he's a boy, life follows a plan,
But here in these thousand hills, the boy becomes a man!
The moon, when it's pale,
Lighting the trail,
Tugs at his heart-strings;
He learns to live and learns to love
These thousand hills, these thousand hills!
