[1st verse:] I'm writing her a letter To Virginia where I met her And believe me I'll feel better When she knows I'm coming home My heart will cease it's aching If God grants tomorrow's waking A train I will be taking to my own Let me hear a Southern tune For I'm going back to Virginia soon [Refrain:] Virginia Lou I'm coming home to you Because I'm lonesome and blue All through and through Southern jokes and Southern folks Are good enough for me too If they're for you If I remain I'll go insane I'm waiting now to bless the train That carries me back to old Virginia Lou, Lou I'm coming home to you Virginia Lou [2nd verse:] If Southern blood flows in yer Take a map of old Virginia Look 'er over and then kin yer Help but say that none compare The map is bound to find yer Weeping tears of joy that blind yer If you left one behind yer, waiting there Pretty gals there's quite a few But there's only one Virginia Lou
