Blue Ridge Mountains Lyrics - Sunshine Boy: The Unheard Studio Sessions & Demos 1971-1972 - Townes Van Zandt

Well, my home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains 

My home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains 

Well, my home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains 

And I aint comin back here anymore 

Well, I had me a mother that could pray, boys 

She prayed for me both night and day, boys 

And I tore down every prayer that she could say, boys 

And I aint comin back here anymore 

I wanna find me a lady fair and tender 

Wanna play her song on my steel strings 

Gonna lay her down in a bed of clover 

Then I aint comin back here anymore 

Well, Ive seen this whole wide country over 

From New York City down to Mexico 

And Ive seen the joyful and the sorrow 

And I aint comin back here anymore 

So Mister Sinby, can you hear me 

Down there in Gracel, Louisana, oh 

Well, Ill lay a joint upon your grave, sir 

Then I aint comin back here anymore 

Well, my home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains 

My home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains 

Well, my home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains 

And I aint comin back here anymore
