lyrics

BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN BLUES
Traditional

When I was young and in my prime
I left my home in Caroline
Now all I do is sit and pine
For all the folks I left behind

I got those Blue Ridge Mountain blues
And I stand right here to say
My grip is packed to travel and I'm scratching gravel
For that Blue Ridge far away

I'm gonna stay right by my pa
I'm gonna do right by my ma
I lay around the cabin door
No work or worry anymore

I got those Blue Ridge Mountain blues
Goin' to see my old oak tree
Gonna hunt the possum where the corn cob blossom
For that Blue Ridge far away

Instrumental

I got those Blue Ridge Mountain blues
And I stand right here to say
My grip is packed to travel and I'm scratching gravel
For that Blue Ridge far away

I got those Blue Ridge Mountain blues
And I stay right here to say
"Every day I'm countin' 'til I climb that mountain
In my Blue Ridge Far Away"

THE WAMPUS CAT SONG
Ron Martin-J. M. Carter

Down by the riverside
Put the boat in at dawn
You bring the line* honey
I'll bring the wine honey
We'll have a real good time
Doing nobody no harm

We'll sail away baby
Nothing much to say baby
All the fish got away baby
But I brought my ’catch’ home

We'll fish the red-brown Dan
with a fishing pole in our hand
Sail up and down the land and
Sit back and float awhile

Old Wampus Cat can't be caught
So they say so they thought
Theres a lesson to be taught
When I bring that Wampus Cat in

INSTR. BREAK

Take your hook and bait it good
Check the wind speed like you should
Tell ya Baby to cook your food and
Sit back and float a while

Old Wampus Cat can't be caught
So they say so they thought
Theres a lesson to be taught
When I bring that Wampus Cat in

Down by the riverside
Put the boat in at dawn
You bring the line* honey
I'll bring the wine honey
We'll have a real good time
Doing nobody no harm
