Blue Ridge Mountain Blues

G                         D                            G
When I was young and in my prime, I left my home in Caroline.
                       D                                  G
Now all I do is sit and pine, for all those folks I left behind.

[Chorus]

         G                   D                              G
I got the blue ridge mountain blues, and I sat right here to say,
                                   C                    D              G
my grip is packed to travel and I'm back to ramble to my blue ridge far away.

[Verse 2]

G                            D                               G
I'm goin' to stay right by my pa, I'm goin' to do right by my ma,
                          D                         G
I'll hang around the cabin door, no work or worry anymore.

[Chorus]

         G                   D                              G
I got the blue ridge mountain blues, goin' to see my old oak tree,
                               C                      D              G
Gonna hunt the possum where the corn cob blossom in my blue ridge far away.

[Verse 3]

G                    D                          G
I see a haze of snowy white, I see a window with light,
                        D                               G
I seem to hear them both sigh, where is my wand'rin boy tonight?

[Chorus]

         G                   D                               G
I got the blue ridge mountain blues, and I stay right here to say,
                             C                         D              G
every day I'm countin' 'til I climb that mountain in my blue ridge far away. "
