There’s a well-beaten path on this old mountainside

Where I wandered when I was a lad

Now I wander alone to the place I call home

In those Blue Ridge hills far away

Chorus:

Oh I love those hills of old Virginia

From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam

When I die won’t you bury me in the mountains

Far away in my Blue Ridge mountain home

Now my thoughts ramble back to that ramshackle shack

In those Blue Ridge hills far away

Where my mother and dad were laid there to rest

They are sleeping in peace together there

Chorus: Oh I love…

I’ll return to that old cabin home with a sigh

I’ve been longing for days gone by

When I die won’t you bury me on this old mountainside

Make my resting-place upon this hill so high

Chorus: Oh I love…

break Chorus:. End.
