Blue Ridge Mountains by Townes Van Zandt Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, my home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains
My home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Well, my home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains
And I ain't coming back here anymore

[Verse 2]
Well, I had me a mother that could pray, boys
She prayed for me both night and day, boys
And I tore down every prayer that she could say, boys
And I ain't coming back here anymore

[Verse 3]
I want to find me a lady fair and tender
Want to play her song on my steel strings
Gonna lay her down in a bed of clover
Then I ain't coming back here anymore

[Verse 4]
Well, I've seen this whole wide country over
From New York City down to Mexico
And I've seen the joyful and the sorrow
And I ain't coming back here anymore
[Verse 5]
So if Mister Sinbad, can you hear me
Down there in Grayson, Louisiana oh?
Well, I'll lay a joint upon your grave, sir
Then I ain't coming back here anymore

[Verse 1]
Well, my home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains
My home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Well, my home is in the Blue Ridge Mountains
And I ain't coming back here anymore
