blue ridge mountains

my home is in the blue ridge mountains

my home is in the blue ridge mountains

my home is in the blue ridge mountains

and i ain't comin' back here anymore

i had me a mother that could pray

boys

she prayed for me both night and day

boys

and i tore down every down every prayer that she could say

boys

and i ain't 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 ain't comin' back here anymore

i've seen this whole wide country over

from new york city down to mexico

and i've seen the joyful and the sorrow

and i ain't comin' back here anymore

so mister can you hear me

down there in

louisana-o

i'll lay a joint upon your grave

sir

then i ain't comin' back here anymore

my home is in the blue ridge mountains

my home is in the blue ridge mountains

my home is in the blue ridge mountains

and i ain't comin' back here anymore
