'mid the green fields of virginia
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
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
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
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
