I wouldnt mind your hangin, boys but you wait in jail so long. Oh lord, I been all around this world. Up on the blue ridge mountains, there Ill take my stand. Up on the blue ridge mountains, there Ill take my stand. A rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand; Oh lord, I been all around this world.
