Blue Ridge Mountain Blues Lyrics - Singles - John Fogerty

When I was young and in my prime 

(In my prime) 

I left my home in Caroline 

Now all I do is sit and pine, for all those folks I left behind 

I got the Blue Ridge mountain blues 

And I sat right here to say 

"My grip is packed to travel, and I'm back to ramble 

To my Blue Ridge far away" 

I'm goin' to stay right by my pa 

I'm goin' to do right by my ma 

I'll hang around the cabin door 

No work or worry anymore 

I got the Blue Ridge mountain blues 

Goin' to see my old oak tree 

Gonna hunt the possum where the corn cob blossom 

In my Blue Ridge far away, woo 

I see a haze of snowy white 

I see a window with light 

I seem to hear them both sigh 

"Where is my wand'rin boy tonight?" 

I got the Blue Ridge mountain blues 

And I stay right here to say 

"Every day I'm countin' 'til I climb that mountain 

In my Blue Ridge far away"
