When I was young and in my prime (in my prime!)
D
left my home in caroline
D7
Now all I do is sit and pine,
G
for all those folks I left behind
G
I got the blue ridge mountain blues,
D
and I sat right here to say
D7
"my grip is packed to travel, and I'm back to ramble
G
To my blue ridge far away."
G
I'm goin' to stay right by my pa,
D
I'm goin' to do right by my ma
D7
Il hang around the cabin door,
G
no work or worry anymore
G
I got the blue ridge mountain blues,
D
goin' to see my old oak tree
D7
Gonna hunt the possum where the corn cob blossom
G
In my blue ridge far away
Woo!
G
I see a haze of snowy white,
D
I see a window with light
D7
I seem to hear them both sigh,
G
"where is my wand'rin boy tonight? "
G
I got the blue ridge mountain blues,
D
and I stay right here to say
D7
"every day I'm countin' 'til I climb that mountain
G
In my blue ridge far away."
