G C G
Met her in the fall of 93 in the hills of Tennessee
C Em
She was barely seventeen He was tall and strong and lean
C Em D
They were deep in love by June Hand in hand beneath that moon
G C
And she'd sing a little blue ridge mountain song
G C
And he'd just hum along. They'd dance all night til dawn
Em C
On a hillside all alone, they were young and they were free
Em C
Like a mountain melody True lovers they could be
D G
Singin' that blue ridge song.
G C G C Em
G C G
Married in her momma's wedding gown, bought a house and settled down
C Em
He was drivin' all around, haulin' logs from town to town
C
And he'd come home every night,
Em D
She'd be waiting in the front porch light
G C
And she'd sing a little blue ridge mountain song
G C
And he'd just hum along. They'd dance all night til dawn
Em C
On a hillside all alone, they were young and they were free
Em C
Like a mountain melody True lovers they could be

Singin' that blue ridge song.

They couldn't tell him what was wrong. They just didn't know.
C Em
It wasn't very long, til Jesus called her home
C
Then he got down on his knees,
Em D
God don't take my love from me, Just let her
G C
sing a little blue ridge mountain song
G
Like she has all along.
C G
I’ll dance with her til dawn, On a hillside all alone
Em C
And we'll spend eternity, like a mountain melody
Em
In love as we can be
D G
singin' that blue ridge song
G C G
Now I live there all alone, in the house that they called home
C Em
In his heart there lies a void, from the absence of her voice
C
And he lays down every night,
Em D
And dreams about that front porch light
G C
Where she'd sing a little blue ridge mountain song.
G C
And he'd just hum along, they'd dance all night til dawn
G C
On the hillside all alone. They were young and they were free
Em C
Like a mountain melody, In love as they could be-e
G C
Makin' that blue ridge song.
Little blue ridge mountain song
Sing a little blue ridge mountain song
