My Virginia Mama

[Verse 1]
Boys, I know you know there ain't no use denyin'
That my heart is far away from New York City
Now boys, I'm headed home where I left someone a-cryin'
And I gotta say there's none so doggone pretty

[Chorus]
As my Virginia mama
Lordy, every day I'm thinkin' of her
My Virginia mama
Glory hallelujah, how I love her

[Verse 2]
Her pa said we should marry if I made some money
So I got a job with Mr. Rockefeller
This letter that I carry should win me my honey
There's a million reasons I can't wait to tell her

[Chorus]
My Virginia mama
Lordy, every day I'm thinkin' of her
My Virginia mama
Glory hallelujah, how I love her

[Verse 3]
Best me on my way, boys, time, it is a-wastin'
That train ain't gonna wait on me forever
In just a couple days, sweet kisses I'll be tastin'
I'll be hers and she'll be mine forever

[Chorus]
My Virginia mama
Lordy, every day I'm thinkin' of her
My Virginia mama
Glory hallelujah, how I love her
