Blue Highway - Blue Ridge Mountain Girl lyrics

rate me

It sure is cold here in Chicago

The wind can cut you like a knife

Another day, another dollar

What a way to spend a life

She was young and I was restless

Left my home in Ole' Virginia

And my Blue Ridge Mountain girl

And I can see her standing by the window

And there's nothing sadder in the world

Than to see those green eyes, all red from crying

On my Blue Ridge Mountain girl

In my hands I hold a letter

That says she made a pretty bride

And as I lay here in the darkness

She lays by another's side

I've got money in my pockets

Diamond rings that I wear

But I'd trade them all this minute

For the gold that's in her hair

And I can see her standing by the window

And there's nothing sadder in the world

Than to see those green eyes, all red from crying

Of my Blue Ridge Mountain girl

And I can see her standing by the window

And there's nothing sadder in the world

Than those green eyes, all red from crying

On my Blue Ridge Mountain girl

On my Blue Ridge Mountain girl
