When I was young and in [D] my prime I left my home in [G] Carolina
Now all I do is sit and [D] pine For all them folks I left [G] behind
I've got them blue ridge mountain [D] blues And they'll stand right [G] here and sing
My grippy's packed to travel And [A] I'm scratching gravel for [D] them to reach tomorrow

I'm gonna hang around that cabin [D] door With no work or worry [G] anymore
