When I was young and in my prime (in my prime!),
I left my home in Caroline. Now all I do is sit and pine, for all those folks I left behind. I got the Blue Ridge mountain blues, and I sat right here to say, "My grip is packed to travel, and I'm back to ramble, To my Blue Ridge far away." I'm goin' to stay right by my Pa, I'm goin' to do right by my Ma, I'll hang around the cabin door, no work or worry anymore. I got the Blue Ridge mountain blues, goin' to see my old oak tree, Gonna hunt the possum where the corn cob blossom, In my Blue Ridge far away. Woo! I see a haze of snowy white, I see a window with light, I seem to hear them both sigh, "Where is my wand'rin boy tonight?" I got the 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." |

I lay here at night, toss and I turn, lovin' you so, how my heart yearns,
Honey, you're the reason I don't sleep at night. A-justa walkin' the floor, thinkin' of you, smoke cigarettes, and drink all day too, Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night. I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me, but if I'm wrong don't fail to call, Come over and keep me-hee company. Sometimes I go for a walk, look at the moon, strum my guitar to some old lonesome tune, Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night. I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me, yeah but if I'm wrong don't fail to call, Come over and keep me-hee company. Sometimes I go for a walk, look at the moon, strum my guitar and sing out of tune, Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night. Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night. Honey, you're the reason I can't sleep at night. |

Just because I asked a friend about her, just because I spoke her name somewhere,
Just because I dialled her number by mistake today, she thinks I still care. Just because I haunt the same old places, where the memory of her lingers everywhere, Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be, she thinks I still care. Oh if she's happy thinkin' I still need her, then let that silly notion bring her cheer, Oh how could she ever be so foolish, and where would she get such an idea? Just because I asked a friend about her, just because I spoke her name somewhere, Just because I saw her, then went all to pieces, she thinks I still care. She thinks I still caaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaare. |

Have Thine own way, Lord, have Thine own way,
Thou art the potter, I am the clay, Mold me and make me, after Thy will, While I am waiting, yielded and still. Have Thine own way, Lord, have Thine own way, Search me and try me, Master today, Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now, As in Thy presence humbly I bow. Have Thine own way, Lord, have Thine own way, Wounded and weary, help me I pray, Power, all power, surely is Thine, Touch me and heal me, Saviour divine. Have Thine own way, Lord, have Thine own Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. |

Wellllllll, I ain't never, I ain't never, seen nobody like you,
No no never, have I ever, seen nobody like you-oo-oo. You call me up, say you'll meet me at nine, I have to hurry, hurry, but I'm there on time, I walk right up and knock on your door, The landlord says "She ain't here no more." CHORUS: I ain't never, oh darlin', seen nobody like you-oo-oo, But I love ya, yeah I love ya, I love you just the same. Well, you tell me things that you don't mean, You got me livin' in a haunted dream, You make me do things, I don't wanna do, My friends they stay away, but what's so wrong with you? CHORUS: I love you just the same. |

CHORUS:
Well, today I started lovin' you again, I'm right back where I've really always been. I got over you just long enough, to let my heartache mend, Then today, I started lovin' you again. What a fool I was to think I could get by, With only these few million tears I've cried. I should have known the worst was yet to come, And that cryin' time for me, had just begun. CHORUS |
