Blue Ridge Mountain Girl

It's so cold here in Chicago
The wind can cut you like a knife
Another Dime another Dollar
What a way to spend your life

She was young and I was restless
I set off to win the world
Said goodbye to my virgina
And my blue ridge mountain girl

You could see her standing by the window
Theres nothing sadder in the world
Then those green eyes all red from crying
Of my blue ridge mountain girl

In my hand I hold a letter
Said she'd make a pretty bride
As I lay here in the darkness
She lays by another side

I've got money in my pocket
Silver rings that I wear
But I trade them all this minute
For the gold that's in her hair

You could see her standing by the window
Theres nothing sadder in the world
Then those green eyes all red from crying
Of my blue ridge mountain girl

You could see her standing by the window
An Theres nothing sadder in the world
Then those green eyes all red from crying
Of my blue ridge mountain girl

Then those green eyes all red from crying
Of my blue ridge mountain girl
