[G]
When I was young and in my [D] prime, I left my home in [G] Carolina.
Now all I do is sit and [D] grind, for [G] all those folks I left behind.
I got the Blue Ridge [D] Mountain blues, and I stand right here [G] to say,
I drifted back to travel in a tractor, after my [D] Blue Ridge [G] war of ways.

[G] 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 worry [G] anymore.
I got the Blue Ridge Mountain [D] blues, gonna sing my hollow [G] praise.
Gonna haunt the bottom [C] where the corn cows rise up [D] in my Blue Ridge war [G] of ways.
[D]
[G]
I see a hazel snowy [D] way, [G]
I see a window with light.
I sing to hear them both [D] sigh,
[G] where is my wandering boy tonight?
I got the Blue Ridge Mountain [D] blues, and I stand right here [G] to say,
Every day I'm counting [C] to the climb, that mountain [D] in my Blue Ridge war [G] of ways.
[N]
