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 (bluebird singing) In the Blue Ridge Mountains (Blue Ridge Mountains) Calling me back to my home Oh I can hear (I can hear) Those 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 I'm going back to the Blue Ridge Mountains These memories they haunt me still There's a bluebird singing (bluebird singing) In the Blue Ridge Mountains (Blue Ridge Mountains) Calling me back to my home Oh I can hear (I can hear) Those bluebirds calling Calling me back to my home When I reached home I was oh so lonely The one I loved had gone away That bad news came from her mother She's sleeping there beneath the clay There's a bluebird singing (bluebird singing) In the Blue Ridge Mountains (Blue Ridge Mountains) Calling me back to my home Oh I can hear (I can hear) Those bluebirds calling Calling me back to my home
