It's so cold here in Chi-cago the wind can cut you like a knife

 Another day, another doll-ar what a way to spend a life

 She was young and I was restless I set out to win the world

 Said good-bye to my Virg-ini-a and my Blue Ridge Mountain girl

Chorus

 I can see her standing by the window and there's nothing sadder in the world

 Than those green eyes, all red from cry-ing on my Blue Ridge Mountain girl

Instrumental verse

Chorus

 I can see her standing by the window and there's nothing sadder in the world

 Than those green eyes, all red from cry-ing on my Blue Ridge Mountain girl

In my hands I hold a letter says she made a pretty bride

 And as I lie here in the dark-ness she lies by another's side

 I've got money in my pockets silver rings that I wear

 But I'd trade them all this min-ute for the gold that's in her hair

Chorus twice

 I can see her standing by the window and there's nothing sadder in the world

 Than those green eyes, all red from cry-ing on my Blue Ridge Mountain girl

 I can see her standing by the window and there's nothing sadder in the world

 Than those green eyes, all red from cry-ing on my Blue Ridge Mountain girl

 On my Blue Ridge Mountain girl
