      D              G            D       
 In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
                G                A  
 There's a place that I love so well
        D            G          D       
 Where I spent many days of my childhood
                     A7         D    
 In the cabin where we loved to dwell
 
                G         D     
 White dove will mourn in sorrow
                G            A    
 The willows will hang their heads
               G          D 
 I'll live my life in sorrow
                  A7         D  
 Since mother and daddy are dead
 
                G            D      
 We were all so happy there together
                 G           A       
 In our peaceful little mountain home
                    A7             D     
 But the Savior needs angels up in heaven
                    A              D        
 Now they sing around the great white throne
 
                G               D   
 As the years roll by I often wonder
                      G       A    
 If we will all be together someday
                      G                  D       
 And each night as I wander through the graveyard
                        A7         D 
 Darkness finds me as I kneel to pray
