There was a girl I loved so dearly

She lived away back in the hills

When the bluebirds sing I miss my darling

And the bluebird singing

In the Blue Ridge Mountains

Is calling me back to my home

Oh I can hear the bluebirds calling

Tonight I'm far from the Blue Ridge Mountains

Far from my home back in the hills

Well I'm going back to the Blue Ridge Mountains

These memories haunt me still
And the bluebird singing

She's sleeping there beneath the clay
And the bluebird singing

Oh I can hear the bluebirds calling
