lyrics

Upon the Blue Ridge Mountains here I will make my stand
On the dividing line between being no one and being a man
With the courage of a drunk and the music in my veins
We’ll fight off every strip miner till come the final rains!

Upon the Blue Ridge Mountains here I will live and die
With the pluck of the high country and never to wonder why
Well go back home with your speculators in the direction of my thirty-aught-six
I may not own no monkey wrench but this is just one problem I’ll fix!

Upon the Blue Ridge Mountains, make your way 'cause tonight we fight
Russle up a musket and make your way by the inner light
The higher ground is ours and their machines will never know the truth
And even if Sherman returns with his tanks we’ll hide our souls up in the blue!
