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
