Blue Ridge Mountains turnin’ green Wanna go home again to see my mountain friends Springtime opens up my heart Makes me want to share that good ole mountain air Life’s so young and free for all For those who answer the Blue Ridge Mountain call Blue Ridge Mountains turnin’ green I wanna go home again to see my mountain friends Sunrise drinks the morning dew Walkin’ on new cloud ground distant cowbells sound Tall trees reach the misty blue And all there leaves are green the shadows on a mountain stream Dogwood and mountain laurel bloom A welcome mat for nature’s livin’ room Blue Ridge Mountains turnin’ green Wanna go home again to see my mountain friends Nighttime gathers in the crowd Listen to the children sing hear the banjos ring Blue Ridge Mountain music sound Comes from lonely hill the song of a whippoorwill Old time fiddles that I hear Playin’ the tune that I love so dear Blue Ridge Mountains callin’ me I wanna go home again to see my mountain friends Blue Ridge Mountains turnin’ green
