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
