(lyrics as sung by The Rosinators)

When I was young and in my prime
I left my home in Caroline
Now all I do is sit and pine
Thinkin' 'bout the folks I left behind

I've got them Blue Ridge Mountain blues
And I sit right here and pine
Cos I'm bound to travel
While I'm scratching gravel
For them Blue Ridge far away

I went on down to San Anton
Ain't a gonna work or worry any more
I'm gonnna stay home with my Pa
Ain't a gonna work or worry any more

I've got them Blue Ridge Mountain blues
And I sit right here and pine
Cos I'm bound to travel
While I'm scratching gravel
For them Blue Ridge far away
