Carter Family – Mid The Green Fields Of Virginia lyrics

Mid the green fields of Virginia
In the vale of Shenandoah
There's an ivy-covered homestead that I love
With its quiet old-fashioned chimney
And itss simple homelike airs
'Tis the home of my dear parents, now above

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

Mid the green fields of Virginia
Stands an old mill by the stream
I once wondered to that spot to sing and play
And how often I would throw the stone
Into the pebbling brook
I would dream someday it'd carry me away

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
