Up on the Blue Ridge mountain, there Ill take my stand
Up on the Blue Ridge mountain, there Ill take my stand
A rifle on my shoulder, six-shooter in my hand
Lord, Lord, Ive 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 on in with my old forty-four
Lord, Ive 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
Lord, lord, Ive 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 
Lord, Ive been all around this world
Up on the Blue Ridge mountain, there Ill take my stand
Up on the Blue Ridge mountain, there Ill take my stand
A rifle on my shoulder, six-shooter in my hand
Lord, Lord, Ive been all around this world

 Jerry sings this verse on the 1970 Bears Choice version, but not on later versions
 ... but the waiting takes so long in some versions
