Singer:carter family, the

'mid the green fields of virginny in the vale of shenandoah

there's an ivy covered homestead that i love

with its white old fashioned chimney and its simple homelike airs

'tis the home of my dear parents now above

there's a peaceful cottage there

a happy home so dear

my heart is longing for them day by day

where i spent life's golden hours in the vale of shenandoah

'mid the green fields of virginny far away

'mid the green fields of virginny stands an old mill by the stream

i would wander to that spot to sing and play

and how often i would throw a stone into the babbling brook

i would dream some day it'll carry me away

there's a peaceful cottage there

a happy home so dear

my heart is longing for them day by day

where i spent life's golden hours in the vale of shenandoah

'mid the green fields of virginny far away

there's a peaceful cottage there

a happy home so dear

my heart is longing for them day by day

where i spent life's golden hours in the vale of shenandoah

'mid the green fields of virginny far away
