Lyrics

There was a girl I loved so dearly She lived away back in the hills When the bluebird sings, I miss my darling She loved me I know, she always will

There’s a bluebird singing (there’s a bluebird singing) In the Blue Ridge mountains (in the Blue Ridge mountains) It’s calling me back to my home Oh, I can hear (Oh I can hear) The bluebirds calling (the bluebirds calling) Calling me back to my home

Now tonight I’m far from the blue ridge mountains Far from my home back in the hills But I’m going back to the blue ridge mountains These memories they haunt me still When I reached home I was so lonely The one I loved had gone away That bad news came from her mother She’s sleeping there beneath the clay
