[instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Woke up to a cold wind Crawlin’ through the pines Old floorboards talkin’ like they know my mind Coffee gone bitter, same as yesterday Sun don’t shine much out this way [Chorus] Oh, these blue ridge blues got a hold on me Like a lonesome banjo in a minor key I’d leave this sorrow if I knew the way But the hills keep callin’, beggin’ me to stay [Verse 2] Train whistle cryin’ down the valley low Sounds like a place I oughta go But these boots are tied to this red clay ground Every road I take just turns me around [Chorus] Oh, these blue ridge blues got a hold on me Like a lonesome banjo in a minor key I’d leave this sorrow if I knew the way But the hills keep callin’, beggin’ me to stay
