Verse 1
E
From a shack by a mountain stream
E
A
To a room in New Orleans
E
So far from my Blue
Ridge Mountain home
B
E
The men I meet ain't
warm and friendly
Like the one in old Virginia
They ain't real like my Blue
Ridge Mountain boys
I was just a little past eighteen
A
E
when I came to New Orleans.
I'd never been beyond my
B
F#
home to stay alive.
B
E
There was a boy who loved me dearly,
A
E
but I broke his heart severely
A
B
E
when I left my Blue Ridge Mountain
A
G
Ab
Eb
D
A
boy.
A
And I know the city
A
life's more my style
E
But nights keep blowing,
waiting for you
E
A
E
And it's easy to go wrong
The man ain't kind
G
F
Like my blue ridge mountain boy
