G D
When I was young and in my prime
G
I left my home in Caroline
D
Now all I do is sit and pine
G
For all those folks I left behind
CHORUS:
G D
I've got the Blue Ridge Mountain Blues
G
And I'll stand right here and say
C
My grip is packed to travel I'll be scratching gravel
D G
For that Blue Ridge far away
G D
I'm gonna stand right by my Pa
G
I'm gonna do right by my Ma
D
I'll hang around the cabin door
G
No work nor worry any more
[CHORUS]
G D
I see a window with a light
G
I see two heads of snowy white
D
It seems I hear them both recite
G
Where is my wandering boy tonight
[CHORUS]
