Blue Ridge Mountain Sky

It's a lonesome road

And a hard way to live

But it's the only life that I know

I met some people, I traveled around

But home's always the best place to go

It's a lonesome feeling in my mind

A feeling that I can't leave behind

Carolina's where I'm at, and

I'll always hang my hat

Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies

I got me a woman back home

She gave me a baby, too

And she stands by my loving side and

Does anything I ask her to

It's a lonesome feeling in my mind

A feeling I can't seem to leave behind

Carolina's where I'm at, and

I'll always hang my hat

Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies

There's an old man, sittin' in a rockin' chair

He's got the best beagle dog in the county I've been told

But his shotgun done got too rusty

That 'ole beagle dog he done grown a little too old

As he stares up into heaven, I'm sure I know the reason why

He's thinking about that promised land in them Blue Ridge Mountain skies

It's a lonesome feeling in my mind

A feeling I can't seem to leave behind

Carolina's where I'm at, and

I'll always hang my hat

Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies
