Bluebirds are singing for me

There was a girl I loved 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

And the bluebird singing
In the Blue Ridge Mountains
Is calling me back to my home
Oh I can hear the bluebirds calling
Is calling me back to my home

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

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