Lyrics
Chorus:
But if you want my heart to bust wide open
Mention Blue Ridge Days
Just start me thinking of my folks down yonder
And their Blue Ridge ways
Where the sunsets seem so mellow
And all the fields are green and yellow
Golden Rod is rearin’ in the cabin clearin’
Smoke a-trailin’ up the valley
Bacon’s in the pan
Oh June, I yearn to see the lovelight
In your Blue Ridge Eyes
I want to wander with you up the pine trail
‘Neath the Blue Ridge skies
I want to see my Uncle Judd and hear the latest news
And help ’em hide the liquor from the snoopin’ Revenues
Yea Bo, you know let’s go through the gap
I’ve got the Blue Ridge Blues
Chorus:
But if you want my heart to bust wide open
Mention Blue Ridge Days
Just start me thinking of my folks down yonder
And their Blue Ridge ways
Where the sunsets seem so mellow
And all the fields are green and yellow
Golden Rod is rearin’ in the cabin clearin’
Smoke a-trailin’ up the valley
Bacon’s in the pan
Oh June, I yearn to see the lovelight
In your Blue Ridge Eyes
I want to wander with you up the pine trail
‘Neath the Blue Ridge skies
Where they never travel ’round unless they go in twos
And always tote their guns along to emphasize their views
Sunshine, moonshine, that’s what makes me pine
I’ve got the Blue Ridge Blues
