If Blue Mountains Could Sing

A sea of Blue Mountains 
As far as the eyes can see
Sing about your blue tapestry

Sweet Blue Mountains
Your purple majesty 
Deep in your eyes 
The cool rivers flow
Hills and pine trees 
All covered with snow 

Eagles fly high 
Above every hilltop
Blue Mountains roll 
Down to the blue shore

Blue eyes watch over me
Sweet voice sings back to thee

Sing in every chapel
Sing a Tennessee wedding song 

If Blue Mountains could sing, then
All the church bells would ring,
And sing, Blue Mountains is where
You belong
