[Verse]
G               
When I was young
       D                          G       
And in my prime I left my home in Caroline
                D           
Now all I do is sit and pine
                      G          
For all those folks I left behind
                     D             
I got the Blue Ridge mountain blues
                        G  
And I sat right here to say
   G                       
My grip is packed to travel
C                     
And I'm back to ramble
D                    G   
To my Blue Ridge far away

[Verse]
                           D    
I'm goin' to stay right by my Pa
                         G    
I'm goin' to do right by my Ma
                     D         
I'll hang around the cabin door
                 G      
No work or worry anymore
                     D7       D    
I got the Blue Ridge mountain blues
                    G       
Goin' to see my old oak tree
G                    
Gonna hunt the possum
C                         
Where the corn cob blossom
   D                 G   
In my Blue Ridge far away

[Verse]
                    D          
Woo I see a haze of snowy white
               G         
I see a window with light
                         D   
I seem to hear them both sigh
                     G          
Where is my wand'rin boy tonight
                     D             
I got the Blue Ridge mountain blues
                         G  
And I stay right here to say
G                     
Every day I'm countin'
C                         
'til I climb that mountain
   D                 G   
In my Blue Ridge far away
