Blue Ridge Mountains turning green
I 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 Mountains call
Blue Ridge Mountains turning green
I wanna go home again to see my mountain friends
Sunrise drinks the morning dew
Walking on new plowed ground distant cowbells sound
Tall trees reach the misty blue
And all their leaves of green are shadows on a mountain stream
Dogwood and mountain laurel bloom
A welcome mat for nature's living room
Blue Ridge Mountains turning green
I wanna go home again to see my mountain friends
Night time gathers in the crowd
Listen to the children sing hear the banjos ring
Blue Ridge Mountains music sound
Comes from lonely hill the song of a whippoorwill
Old time fiddles that I hear
Play the tunes that I love so dear
Blue Ridge Mountains calling me
I wanna go home again to see my mountain friends
Blue Ridge Mountains turning green
