Blue Ridge Mountain Blues : Lyrics and Song History

(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 ______________________
