There's a well-beaten path on this old mountainside Where I wandered when I was a lad And I wandered alone to the place I call home In those Blue Ridge hills so far away Oh, I love those hills of ol' Virginia From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam When I die, won't you bury me on the mountain? Far away, near my Blue Ridge Mountain home Well, my thoughts wander back to that ramshackled shack In those Blue Ridge hills so far away Now my mother and dad are laid back to rest They're sleeping in peace together there Oh, I love those hills of ol' Virginia From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam When I die, won't you bury me on the mountain? Far away, near my Blue Ridge Mountain home I return to that old mountain home with a sigh And I've been longing for days gone by When I die, won't you bury me on this old mountainside? Make a resting place beneath the hills so high Oh, I love those hills of ol' Virginia From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam When I die, won't you bury me on the mountain? Far away, near my Blue Ridge Mountain home Oh, I love those hills of ol' Virginia From those Blue Ridge hills I did roam When I die, won't you bury me on the mountain? Far away, near my Blue Ridge Mountain home
