Blue Ridge Mountain Sky Lyrics

It's a lonesome road
And a hard way to live
But its the only life that I know

I met some people
I traveled around
But home's always the best place to go

And its a lonesome feeling on 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

But I got me
A woman back home
She gave me a baby too

And she stands by
My loving side
Does anything I ask her to

And its a lonesome feeling on 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

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 a-thinking
About that promised land
In them Blue Ridge Mountain skies

And its a lonesome feeling on 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
