In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia   There's a place that I love so well   Where I spent many days of my childhood   In a cabin where we loved to dwell      White dove will mourn in sorrow   The willows will hang their heads   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 Savior needs angels up in heaven   Now they sing 'round the great white throne      White dove will mourn in sorrow   The willows will hang their heads   I'll live my life in sorrow   Since mother and daddy are dead      As the years roll by I often wonder   If we will all be together someday   And each night as I wander through the graveyard   Darkness finds me as I kneel to pray      White dove will mourn in sorrow   The willows will hang their heads   I'll live my life in sorrow   Since mother and daddy are dead   I'll live my life in sorrow   Since mother and daddy are dead
