Now come and listen to my story 
Story that I know is true 
'Bout a rose that blooms in Georgia 
With hair of gold and a heart so true 


Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains 
Way down where the tall pines grow 
There's my sweetheart of the mountain 
She's my little Georgia rose 


Her mother left her with another 
A carefree life she had planned 
Maybe now she's a lady 
One her mother could not stand 


Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains 
Way down where the tall pines grow 
There's my sweetheart of the mountain 
She's my little Georgia rose 


We often sang old songs together 
I watched her do her little part 
She'd smile at me and I would tell her 
That she was my own sweetheart 


Way down in the Blue Ridge Mountains 
Way down where the tall pines grow 
There's my sweetheart of the mountain 
She's my little Georgia rose
