Blue Highway - Blue Ridge Mountain Girl Lyrics
It sure is cold here in ChicagoThe wind can cut you like a knifeAnother day, another dollarWhat a way to spend a lifeShe was young and I was restlessLeft my home in Ole' VirginiaAnd my Blue Ridge Mountain girlAnd I can see her standing by the windowAnd there's nothing sadder in the worldThan to see those green eyes, all red from cryingOn my Blue Ridge Mountain girlIn my hands I hold a letterThat says she made a pretty brideAnd as I lay here in the darknessShe lays by another's sideI've got money in my pocketsDiamond rings that I wearBut I'd trade them all this minuteFor the gold that's in her hairAnd I can see her standing by the windowAnd there's nothing sadder in the worldThan to see those green eyes, all red from cryingOf my Blue Ridge Mountain girlAnd I can see her standing by the windowAnd there's nothing sadder in the worldThan those green eyes, all red from cryingOn my Blue Ridge Mountain girlOn my Blue Ridge Mountain girl
