lyrics

Up on Blueridge Mountain,
There I'll make my stand
Up on Blueridge Mountain,
There I'll make my stand
Rifle on my shoulder, broomstick in my hand
I been all around this world

Hang me oh hang me,
I'll be dead and gone
Hang me oh hang me,
I'll be dead and gone
It's not the hanging that I mind,
It's sitting in the jail so long
I've been all around this world

Workin' on that railroad,
Mud up to my knees
Workin' on that railroad,
Mud up to my knees
Workin' for John Henry, he's might hard to please
I've been all around this world

Chorus

Lulu, oh lulu
Come open up that door
Lulu, oh lulu
Won't you open up that door
Before I have to open up
With my 44,
I been all around this world

Chorus

Mama and papa,
Baby sister make three
Mama and papa,
Baby sister make three
Take me down to the gallows, boy
That's the last they'll see of me
I been all around this world

Chorus
