My heart is a blue ridge mountain
And my head an over-flowing fountain
Oh, my heart is a blue ridge mountain
But I never, never knew, I never knew, never knew
Never, never knew, never knew

Well, I woke up this morning
And I saw a new day dawning
Oh, I woke up this morning
But I never, never knew, I never knew, never knew
Never, never knew, never knew

My hands are like John Henry's
Sing a song for his poor memory
It's the soul a man that can be
But I never, never knew, I never knew, never knew
Never, never knew, never knew

Well, I woke up this morning
And I saw a new day dawning
Oh, I woke up this morning
But I never, never knew, I never knew, never knew
Never, never knew, never knew

My heart is a blue ridge mountain
And my head an over-flowing fountain
Oh, my heart is a blue ridge mountain
But I never, never knew, I never knew, never knew
Never, never knew, never knew
Oh, I never, never knew, I never knew, never knew
Never, never knew, never knew
Well, I never, never knew, I never knew, never knew
Never, never knew, never knew
Oh, I never, never knew, I never knew, never knew
Never, never knew, never knew
