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