When I was young it [D] is my crime I left my home in [G] Caroline
Now all I do is [D] sit and pine For all those folks I [G] left behind
I got the Blue Ridge [D] Mountain blues And I stand right here [G] to say
My grip is packed to travel [C] and back To Rambo [D] to my Blue Ridge [G] far away

I'm gonna stay right [D] by my ma I'm gonna do right [G] by my ma
I'll hang around the [D] cabin door No more to worry anymore
I got [G] the Blue Ridge Mountain [D] blues Gonna see my old [G] oak tree
Gonna hunt the possum [C] with a corncob blossom [D] In my Blue Ridge far [G] away
There we go!

see a haze of [D] snowy white I see a window [G] with light
I seem to hear them both [D] sigh Where is my wandering [G] boy tonight?
I got the Blue Ridge [D] Mountain blues And I stand right here [G] to say
Every day I'm counting [C] till I climb that mountain [D] In my Blue Ridge [G] far away
I got the Blue Ridge [D] Mountain blues Gonna see my old oak tree
Gonna [G] hunt the possum with [C] a corncob [D] blossom In my Blue Ridge far [G]
