Got a home in the hills of old Virginia I love still   And it stands near the lonesome pines   And I long to go back to the vine covered shack   Where I left that old mother of mine      I can still see her there in that old rocking chair   In my home among the hills   And I seem to hear her say why did you go away   From your home among the hills      The pine trees stand alone near my old Virginia home   And that silver hared mother of mine   I can see her smiling face in that old familiar place   In my home among the hills      I'm leaving here today I'm going back to stay   In my home among the hills   How happy we will be near the lonesome pine trees   In my home among the hills
