Blue Ridge Mountain Blues

1 5
When I was young and in my prime
1
I left my home in Caroline
5
Now all I do is sit and pine
1
For all those folks I left behind
 

1 5
I’ve got the Blue Ridge Mountain blues
1
And I stand right here to say
4
My grip is packed to travel and I’m back to ramble
5 1
To my Blue Ridge far away
 

I’m gonna stay right by my Pa
I’m gonna do right by my Ma
I’ll hang around the cabin door
No work or worry anymore

I’ve got the Blue Ridge Mountain blues
Gonna see my old dog Trey
Gonna hunt the possum where the corn cobs blossom
In my Blue Ridge far away

I see a haze of snowy white
I see a window at light
I seem to hear them both to sigh
Where is my wanderin’ boy tonight

I’ve got the Blue Ridge Mountain blues
And I stand right here to say
Every day I’m countin’ ’til I climb that mountain
In my Blue Ridge far away

I’ve got the Blue Ridge Mountain blues
Gonna see my old dog Trey
Gonna hunt the possum where the corn cobs blossom
In my Blue Ridge far away
