dolly parton - my blue ridge mountain boy (1982) lyrics

[verse 1]
from a shack by a mountain stream
to a room in new orleans
so far from my blue ridge mountain home
oh, the men i meet ain’t warm and friendly
like the one in old virginie
no, they ain’t real like my blue ridge mountain boy

[verse 2]
oh, i was just a little past eighteen
when i came to new orleans
i had never been beyond my home state line
there was a boy there, he loved me dearly
but i broke his heart severely
when i left my blue ridge mountain boy

[verse 3]
oh, but life was dull in my hometown
lights were out when the sun went down
and so i thought that city life was more my style
just a little more my style
but nights get lonely away from home
and it’s easy to go wrong
the men ain’t kind like my blue ridge mountain boy

[verse 4]
and new orleans held things in store
things i’d never bargained for
and every night, a different man knocks on my door
oh, but late at night, when all is still
i can hear a whippoorwill
as i cry for my blue ridge mountain boy
[verse 5]
oh, but i can’t ever go back home
’cause the boy i love is gone
i guess he got tired (he got tired)
of waiting for me (he got tired)
to return
they say he married last october
but i never will get over
oh, the sweet love of my blue ridge mountain boy

[outro]
oh, oh
oh, don’t i miss that blue ridge mountain boy
how i miss my blue ridge mountain boy
