Far from the city of sorrows
Sweetheart, I'm waiting for you
Come to the hills that love you
Come to a heart fond and true

Sierra Sue, I'm sad and lonely
The rocks and rills are sighing too
Sierra Sue, I want you only
No one but you, Sierra Sue

The roses droop their heads in sadness
The gentle doves no longer coo
Ah, can't you hear my sad heart calling
Calling for you, Sierra Sue

Someday you'll tire of the city
Then you'll return to the fold
Far down the trail I'll meet you
Loving and true as of old

Sierra Sue, I'm sad and lonely
The rocks and rills are sighing too
Sierra Sue, I want you only
No one but you, Sierra Sue

The roses droop their heads in sadness
The gentle doves no longer coo
Ah, can't you hear my sad heart calling
Calling for you, Sierra Sue

As recorded by BING CROSBY with
John Scott Trotter & His Orch., March 22nd 1940, Los Angeles:


Sierra Sue, I'm sad and lonely,
The rocks and rills are lonely too.
Sierra Sue, I want you only,
No one but you, Sierra Sue.

The roses weep, their tears are falling,
The gentle doves no longer coo.
Oh, can't you hear my sad heart calling,
Calling for you, Sierra Sue?

Sierra Sue, I want you only,
No one but you, Sierra Sue.

The roses weep, their tears are falling,
The gentle doves no longer coo.
Oh, can't you hear my sad heart calling,
Calling for you, Sierra Sue?
