[G]
From a shop by a mountain stream to a [C] room in [G] New Orleans
So far from my Blue Ridge [D] Mountain home
The [G]
men I meet ain't warm and friendly like the wild [C] [G] virginy
They ain't real [D] like my Blue Ridge [G]
Mountain boy
[Am] [F#] I [G] was just a little past eighteen when I came [C] to New [G] Orleans
I had never been beyond my home [D] state line
There [G] was a boy who loved me dearly, [C] his heart [G] so dearly
When I left [D] my Blue Ridge [G] Mountain home
I was [C]
a little dull in my hometown, yet I [A#] survived the [F] sun [C] down
And I thought that city life was more [G] my [C] style
[G] But nights get lonely waiting home and it's [C] easy to [G] go wrong
And I ain't kind [D] like my Blue Ridge [G] Mountain boy
[A]
New Orleans health ain't easy to store, means I never [D] [A] bargain for
Every night a different man knocks [E] on my door
[A] When all is still I can hear [D] him whip [A] up his hands
I [E] call my Blue Ridge [A] Mountain boy
[Bm] [A] But [D] I can't help but go back home [C] to the boy [G] I [D]
saw
He grew tough waiting for a new [A] litter
They say he met me last October
I'll [D]
[A] get over, oh the sweet love [E] of my Blue Ridge [A] Mountain boy
Oh the sweet love
