It's so cold here in Chi-cago the wind can cut you like a knife
Another day, another doll-ar what a way to spend a life
She was young and I was restless I set out to win the world
Said good-bye to my Virg-ini-a and my Blue Ridge Mountain girl
I can see her standing by the window and there's nothing sadder in the world
Than those green eyes, all red from cry-ing on my Blue Ridge Mountain girl
Instrumental Verse
I can see her standing by the window and there's nothing sadder in the world
Than those green eyes, all red from cry-ing on my Blue Ridge Mountain girl
In my hands I hold a letter says she made a pretty bride
And as I lie here in the dark-ness she lies by another's side
I've got money in my pockets silver rings that I wear
But I'd trade them all this min-ute for the gold that's in her hair
I can see her standing by the window and there's nothing sadder in the world
Than those green eyes, all red from cry-ing on my Blue Ridge Mountain girl
I can see her standing by the window and there's nothing sadder in the world
Than those green eyes, all red from cry-ing on my Blue Ridge Mountain girl
On my Blue Ridge Mountain girl
