Blue Ridge Mountains turning green
Wanna go home again to see my mountain friends
Springtime opens up my heart
Makes me want to share that good old mountain air

Life's so young and free for all
For those who answer the Blue Ridge Mountain call
Blue Ridge Mountains turning green
I wanna go home again to see my mountain friends

Sun-rise drinks the morning dew
Walking on new plowed ground distant cowbells sound
Tall trees reach the misty blue
All their leaves are green the shadows on a mountain stream

Dogwood and mountain laurel bloom
A welcome mat for nature's living room
Blue Ridge Mountains turning green
Wanna go home again to see my mountain friends

Night-time gathers in the crowd
Listen to the children sing hear the banjos ring
Blue Ridge Mountain music sound
Comes from lonely hill the song of a whippoorwill

Old time fiddles that I hear
Playing the tune that I love so dear
Blue Ridge Mountains calling me
I wanna go home again to see my mountain friends
Blue Ridge Mountains turning green
