Blue Ridge Mountain Blues

Intro G D D G x2 Verse 1 G D G When I was young and in my prime, I left my home in Caroline. D G Now all I do is sit and pine, for all those folks I left behind. Chorus G D G I got the blue ridge mountain blues, and I sat right here to say, C D G my grip is packed to travel and I'm back to ramble to my blue ridge far away. Instrumental G D D G x2 Verse 2 G D G I'm goin' to stay right by my pa, I'm goin' to do right by my ma, D G I'll hang around the cabin door, no work or worry anymore. Chorus G D G I got the blue ridge mountain blues, goin' to see my old oak tree, C D G Gonna hunt the possum where the corn cob blossom in my blue ridge far away. Instrumental G D D G x2 Verse 3 G D G I see a haze of snowy white, I see a window with light, D G I seem to hear them both sigh, where is my wand'rin boy tonight? Chorus G D G I got the blue ridge mountain blues, and I stay right here to say, C D G every day I'm countin' 'til I climb that mountain in my blue ridge far away. "
