Blue Ridge Mountain Blues Lyrics - Singles - Bill Monroe

Blue Ridge Mountain Blues - Bill Monro 

(Album: Bluegrass Special [Decca]; Monroe) 

When I was young in my prime 

I left my home in Caroline 

Now all I do is sit and pine 

For all the folks I left behind 

I've got those blue ridge mountain blues 

And I stand right theere to say 

My grip is packed to travel 

And I'm scratching gravel 

For that blue ridge far away 

I'm gonna stay right by my ma 

I'm gonna do right by my pa 

Lay around the cabin door 

No work on worry anymore 

I've got those blue ridge mountain blues 

What to see my old day tray 

What to hunt the possom 

Where the corn top blossom 

On that blue ridge far away 

I see a window with the light 

I see two heads of snowly white 

It seems I can hear them both recite 

Where is my wondering boy tonight 

I'm got those blue ridge mountain blues 

And I stand right here to say 

Every day I'm countaing 

Still I crimb that mountain 

Oh, that blue ridge far away
