When I was young and in my prime
I left my home in Caroline
Now all I do is sit and pine
For all those folks I left behind
I got the Blue Ridge Mountain blues
And I stand right here to say
My grip is packed to travel
And I'm stacked to travel
To that 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 got the Blue Ridge Mountain blues
Gonna see my old oak tree
Gonna hunt a possum
Where the corn top blossom
In that Blue Ridge far away
ย
I see a haze of snowy white
I see a window where there's light
I seem to hear them both beside
Where is my wandering boy tonight
I got the Blue Ridge Mountain blues
And I stand right here to say
Every day I'm counting
Till I climb that mountain
In that Blue Ridge far away
