Up on the Blue Ridge Mountain,
there I'll take my stand.
Up on the Blue Ridge Mountain,
there I'll take my stand
With a rifle on my shoulder
and six -shooter against my head
Lord knows I've
been all around this world
Lulu, my Lulu, come and open the door
Lulu, my Lulu, oh,
come and open the door
Before I have to open it with my old .44
Lord knows I've
been all around this world
She took me down to the parlor,
and she called me with her fan
She took me down to the parlor,
and she called me with her fan
And she whispered long in her mammy's ear,
I love that traveling man
Lord knows that all around
this world
When you meet a rich girl,
just pass and treat her fine.
But when you meet a poor gal,
just ask her to be mine.
Oh, don't it all around us.
Hang me, oh, hang me,
so I'll be dead and gone
Hang me, oh, hang me,
so I'll be dead and gone
Well, I wouldn't mind your hangin',
boys,
but you'd lay in jail so long
for doin' it all around this
world
Papa and Mama and Little
Sister makes three
Papa and Mama and Little Sister
makes three
They'll take me down to the gallows,
boys
That's the last you'll see of me
All alone and all around this world
