[Verse 1]
Up on the blue ridge mountains, there I'll take my stand
Up on the blue ridge mountains, there I'll take my stand
A rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand
Oh lord, I been all around this world

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
Mama and papa, little sister makes three
Mama and papa, little sister makes three
They're coming in the morning, that's the last you'll see of me
Oh lord, I been all around this world

[Verse 4]
Hang me, oh, hang me, so I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh, hang me, so I'll be dead and gone
I wouldn't mind your hanging, boys but you wait in jail so long
Oh lord, I been all around this world

[Verse 5]
Up on the blue ridge mountains, there I'll take my stand
Up on the blue ridge mountains, there I'll take my stand
A rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand
Oh lord, I been all around this world
