Up on the blue ridge mountains, there Ill take my stand
Up on the blue ridge mountains, there Ill take my stand
A rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand;
Oh lord, I been all around this world

Lulu, my lulu come and open the door
Lulu, my lulu come and open the door
Before I have to walk in with my old forty-four
Oh lord, I been all around this world

Mama and papa, little sister makes three
Mama and papa, little sister makes three
Theyre comin in the mornin; thats the last youll see of me
Oh lord, I been all around this world

Hang me, oh, hang me, so Ill be dead and gone
Hang me, oh, hang me, so Ill be dead and gone
I wouldnt mind your hangin, boys but you wait in jail so long
Oh lord, I been all around this world

Up on the blue ridge mountains, there Ill take my stand
Up on the blue ridge mountains, there Ill take my stand
A rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand;
Oh lord, I been all around this world
