My home is in the Blue Ridge mountains

My home is in the Blue Ridge mountains
       D7                        G
and I ain't comin' back here anymore

I had me a mother 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 've seen the joyful and the sorrow
and I ain't comin' back here anymore

So if Mr. Sinbad can you hear me
Down there in Grayson Louisiana
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
