My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy

In the title track of her fourth solo album, Dolly Parton takes on the persona of a country girl who leaves her boring hometown for the excitement of New Orleans, only to become a prostitute. When the Blue Ridge Mountain Boy she left behind marries another girl, she realizes she can never get her old life back again.

A segment of the Appalachian Mountains, the Blue Ridge Mountains extend 550 miles southwest from southern Pennsylvania through parts of Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia.

This was the album's third single, following "Daddy" and a cover of Elvis Presley's "In The Ghetto." It peaked at #45 on the Country chart.
