[Verse]
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 coming in the morning ; 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 hanging, 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
