Up on the blue ridge mountains, there Ill take my stand
Up on the blue ridge mountains, there Ill 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
Theyre coming in the morning, thats the last youll see of me
Oh lord, I been all around this world
Hang me, oh, hang me, so Ill be dead and gone
Hang me, oh, hang me, so Ill be dead and gone
I wouldnt mind your hanging, boys but you wait in jail so long
Oh lord, I been all around this world
Up on the blue ridge mountains, there Ill take my stand
Up on the blue ridge mountains, there Ill take my stand
A rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand
Oh lord, I been all around this world
