There was a girl I love so dearly
She lived away back in the hills
When the bluebirds sing, I miss my darling
She loved me I know, she always will

There's a bluebird singing
In the Blue Ridge Mountains
It's calling me back to my home
Oh, I can hear the bluebirds calling
It's calling me back to my home

Now tonight I'm far from the Blue Ridge Mountains
Far from my home back in the hills
But I'm going back to the Blue Ridge Mountains
These memories haunt me still

There's a bluebird singing
In the Blue Ridge Mountains
It's calling me back to my home
Oh, I can hear the bluebirds calling
It's calling me back to my home

When I reached my home I was oh so lonely
The one I loved had gone away
The sad, sad news came from her mother
She's sleeping there beneath the glade

There's a bluebird singing
In the Blue Ridge Mountains
It's calling me back to my home
Oh, I can hear the bluebirds calling
It's calling me back to my home
