Introduction:
C F
There was a girl I loved so dearly
G7 C
She lived away back in the hills
F
When the bluebirds sing I miss my darling
G7 C
She loved me I know she always will
And the bluebird singing
F
In the Blue Ridge Mountains
G7 C
Is calling me back to my home
F
Oh I can hear the bluebirds calling
G7 C
Is calling me back to my home
F
Tonight I'm far from the Blue Ridge Mountains
G7 C
Far from my home back in the hills
F
Well I'm going back to the Blue Ridge Mountains
G7 C
These memories haunt me still
And the bluebird singing
F
In the Blue Ridge Mountains
G7 C
Is calling me back to my home
F
Oh I can hear the bluebirds calling
G7 C
Is calling me back to my home
F
When I reached my home I was oh so lonely
G7 C
The one I loved had gone away
F
That sad news came from her mother
G7 C
She's sleeping there beneath the clay
And the bluebird singing
F
In the Blue Ridge Mountains
G7 C
Is calling me back to my home
F
Oh I can hear the bluebirds calling
G7 C
Is calling me back to my home
