Jon W. Lyr Req: Blue Ridge Mountain Blues (24) RE: Blue Ridge Mountain Blues 07 Oct 97


I recorded this version off the radio a few months ago, done by Ted Bogan, Carl Martin, and Howard Armstrong (probably 1930's). It's less complete than Bill's but interesting anyway.

When I was young and in my prime
I left my home in Caroline
All I do is sit among the pine
Think of all the folks I left behind

I've got those Blue Ridge Mountain Blues
I wanna see my old dog Gray
I wanna hunt the possum where the corn tops blossom
In that Blue Ridge so far away

Gonna be right beside my Ma
Gonna be right beside my Pa
Gonna hang around the cabin door
No work or worry anymore

I've got those Blue Ridge Mountain Blues
I wanna see my old dog Gray
Well I'm goin' back yonder to my folks down yonder
In that Blue Ridge so Fare away.
