"Don't Forget This Song (MY HOME IN OLD VIRGINIA)" Lyrics

4.8 / 5
Song updated, review now!
[Instrumental Interlude]

My home's in old Virginia among the lovely hills
The memory of my birthplace lies in my bosom still

I did not like my fireside, I did not like my home
I have a mind for rambling so far away from home

It was on one moonlight evening, the stars were shinning bright
And with an ugly dagger, I made the spirit fly

[Instrumental Interlude]

'Twas then the soul first struck me as plain as you can see
I'm doomed, I'm ruined forever throughout eternity

I courted a fair young lady, her name I will not tell
Oh why should I disgrace her when I am doomed for hell

But now I'm upon my scaffold, my time's not very long
You may forget the singer but don't forget this song

[Instrumental Interlude]
