Up on the Blue Ridge Mountains, there I'll take my stand.

Up on the Blue Ridge Mountains, there I'll take my stand.

A rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand;

Oh Lord, I been all around this world.



Lulu, my Lulu come and open the door.

Lulu, my Lulu come and open the door.

Before I have to walk in with my old 'forty-four'.

Oh Lord, I been all around this world.



Mama and Papa, little sister makes three.

Mama and Papa, little sister makes three.

They're comin' in the mornin'; that's the last you'll see of me.

Oh Lord, I been all around this world.



Hang me, oh, hang me, so I'll be dead and gone.

Hang me, oh, hang me, so I'll be dead and gone.

I wouldn't mind your hangin', boys but you wait in jail so long.

Oh Lord, I been all around this world.



Up on the Blue Ridge Mountains, there I'll take my stand.

Up on the Blue Ridge Mountains, there I'll take my stand.

A rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand;

Oh Lord, I been all around this world.
