Blue Ridge Mountain Blues (w John Fogerty) Lyrics

Blue Ridge Mountain Blues (w  John Fogerty) lyrics

When I was young and in my prime, in my prime

I left my home in Caroline

Now all I do is sit and pine, for all those folks I left behind



I got the blue ridge mountain blues and I sat right here to say

"My grip is packed to travel and I'm back to ramble

To my blue ridge far away"



I'm goin' to stay right by my pa, I'm goin' to do right by my ma

I'll hang around the cabin door, no work or worry anymore



I got the blue ridge mountain blues, goin' to see my old oak tree

Gonna hunt the possum where the corn cob blossom

In my blue ridge far away



I see a haze of snowy white, I see a window with light

I seem to hear them both sigh, "Where is my wanderin' boy tonight? "



I got the blue ridge mountain blues and I stay right here to say

"Every day I'm countin' till I climb that mountain

In my blue ridge far away"
