blue ridge mountains turnin' green

blue ridge mountains turning green

i wanna go home again to see my mountain friends

springtime opens up my heart

makes me want to share that good ole mountain air

life's so young and free for all

for those who answer the blue ridge mountains call

blue ridge mountains turning green

i wanna go home again to see my mountain friends

sunrise drinks the morning dew

walking on new plowed ground distant cowbells sound

tall trees reach the misty blue

and all their leaves of green are shadows on a mountain stream

dogwood and mountain laurel bloom

a welcome mat for nature's living room

blue ridge mountains turning green

i wanna go home again to see my mountain friends

night time gathers in the crowd

listen to the children sing hear the banjos ring

blue ridge mountains music sound

comes from lonely hill the song of a whippoorwill

old time fiddles that i hear

play the tunes that i love so dear

blue ridge mountains calling me

i wanna go home again to see my mountain friends

blue ridge mountains turning green
