Blue Ridge Mountain Blues Lyrics

A E
When I was young and in my prime
A
I left my home in caroline
E
and now all I do is sit and cry
A
For all the folks i've left behind
Chorus
A E
I've got them blue ridge mountain blues
A
And I stand right here and say
My brick is packed to travel,
D
I'll be scratching gravel
A E A
for the blue ridge far away

Verse 2
I can see two heads are snowy white
And in a window there's a light
It seem to hear them both recite
Where is our wanderin' boy tonight
Chorus 2

Verse 3
I'm gonna do right by my walk
And i'm gonna do right by my talk
I'm gonna hang around that cabin door
With no work or worry anymore

Chorus 3
