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
