Up on the blue ridge mountains, there i'll take my stand.
Up on the blue ridge mountains, there i'll 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.
They're comin' in the mornin'; that's the last you'll see of me.
Oh lord, i been all around this world.
Hang me, oh, hang me, so i'll be dead and gone.
Hang me, oh, hang me, so i'll be dead and gone.
I wouldn't mind your hangin', boys but you wait in jail so long.
Oh lord, i been all around this world.
Up on the blue ridge mountains, there i'll take my stand.
Up on the blue ridge mountains, there i'll take my stand.
A rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand;
Oh lord, i been all around this world.
