Blue Ridge Mountain Home Songtext
von Sons of the Pioneers

When the sun goes to shinin′
And my heart goes to pinin'
For my blue ridge mountain home

Where the hound dogs are bayin′
And the pine trees are swayin'
That is where I long to roam

When the sun goes to sinkin'
And I start in to thinkin′
Of a place where flowers bloom

When I get back again
I′m gonna live to the end
In my blue ridge mountain home

I never thought that I could feel so sad
'Til I left my mountain home
But the time is coming when I′ll be so glad
I never more will roam


For I've learned a lesson that I won′t forget
Wherever I may be
But oh how I'm longing for my folks back home
For they mean more than all the world to me

When the sun goes to shinin′
And my heart goes to pinin'
For my blue ridge mountain home

Where the hound dogs are bayin'
And the pine trees are swayin′
That is where I long to roam

When the sun goes to sinkin′
And I start in to thinkin'
Of a place where flowers bloom

When I get back again
I′m gonna live to the end
In my blue ridge mountain home

Oh, my dad and my mother
And my cute little brother
They will welcome me back home

And I know they'll be happy
When I climb up the hill
To my blue ridge mountain home


When the sun goes to shinin′
And my heart goes to pinin'
For my blue ridge mountain home

Where the hound dogs are bayin′
And the pine trees are swayin'
That is where I long to roam

When the sun goes to sinkin'
And I start in to thinkin′
Of a place where flowers bloom

When I get back again
I′m gonna live to the end
In my blue ridge mountain home
