going ober the mountains - lyrics?

[Bell Banjos]

Are there lyrics for Briggs' 'Going Ober The Mountains?' I searched YouTube and Levy.

Terry,

Howe's 1849 Ethiopian Glee book has lyrics. here is the link: http://archive.org/stream/ethiopiangleeboo00howe#page/30/mode/2up

I've heard other more presentable lyrics, however, but not sure where they are from.

This is a link to Mudcat.org that had a discussion about the song a few years ago.  It seems like with a lot of the old melodies there were multiple versions of lyrics over the years.

The ones from the Emmett book are standard...and pretty ready to go. (see photos)
