To travel the country and leave this little town

I’m tellin this story for you ramblers all around

One night in a cardboard mansion you’ll be Blueridge Mountain bound

Chorus:

I built a cardboard mansion over steam from the ground

I spent the night a prayin’ afraid to make a sound

I’m buyin’ a ticket on the first train leavin town

One night in a cardboard mansion you’ll be Blueridge Mountain bound

I left the Blueridge Mountains seven months ago

To see the big the city rambler don’t you know

I didn’t find employment my money was runnin’ low

I got to New York City just in time for snow

Chorus:

I built a cardboard mansion over stream from the ground..

Repeat chorus:

Repeat last line:

One night in a cardboard mansion you’ll be Blueridge Mountain bound
