The Carter Family - Mid the Green Fields of Virginia lyrics

[Verse 1] Mid the green fields of Virginia in the vale of Shenandoah There's an ivy covered homestead that I love With its white old fashioned chimney and its simple homelike airs This the home of my dear parents now above [Chorus] There's a peaceful cottage there, a happy home so dear My heart is longing for them day by day Where I spent life's golden hours in the vale of Shenandoah Mid the green fields of Virginia far away [Verse 2] Mid the green fields of Virginia stands an old mill by the stream I would wander to that spot to sing and play And how often I would throw a stone into the babbling brook And dream some day it would carry be away [Chorus][x2]
