Lyrics:

  • 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
