| There's an old man sittin' in a rocking chair |
| Who's got the best beagle dog in the county |
| But his shotgun a-done got too rusty that old |
| Beagle dog he done grown a little too old |
| As he stares up into heaven |
| I'm sure I know the reason why |
| He's a-thinkin' about that promised land |
| In them Blue Ridge Mountain skies |
| | F | C | G |
| And it's a l | onesome f | eeling in my m | ind |
| | F | C | G |
| A f | eeling I can't s | eem to leave beh | ind |
| | F | C | G | Em |
| Carol | ina's where I'm | at and I'll | always hang my | hat |
| Under those Blue Ridge Mountain skies |
