The Carter Family - My old virginia home

It was on one winter day from my ^Ghome I went a^Dway Far away from friends and home I longed to ^Aroam But to^Dnight I’m lone and sad just a ^Glittle homesick ^Dlad And I’m longing for my ^Aold Virginia ^Dhome

I’m a lad from ^Gold Vir^Dginia bravely ^Gknocking my way back ^Dhome To that cabin ^Ghome in the ^Dmountains never ^Amore let me roam I’m a ^Dlad from ^Gold Vir^Dginia and I’m ^Gcoming coming ^Dhome There I’ll settle ^Gdown for^Dever in my ^Aold Virginia ^Dhome

Since I left that little shack how my ^Gmind has wandered ^Dback How mother often prayed for her ^Alad But from ^Dher I went astray and I ^Gknow I’ve dearly ^Dpaid So I’m coming back to ^Amother and my ^Ddad

I’m a lad from ^Gold Vir^Dginia bravely ^Gknocking my way back ^Dhome To that cabin ^Ghome in the ^Dmountains never ^Amore let me roam I’m a ^Dlad from ^Gold Vir^Dginia and I’m ^Gcoming coming ^Dhome There I’ll settle ^Gdown for^Dever in my ^Aold Virginia ^Dhome
