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.
