In the deep ro

             
lling hills of

     
 old Virginia
              
There's a plac

             
e that I love 

    
so well
             
Where I spent 

             
many days of m

   
y childhood
              
In the cabin w

            
here we loved 

   
to dwell

              
White dove wil

          
l mourn in sor

row
              
The willows wi

             
ll hang their 


heads
              
I'll live my l

          
ife in sorrow
              
Since mother a

            
nd daddy are d


ead

              
We were all so

             
 happy there t


ogether
              
In our peacefu

             
l little mount


ain home
              
But the Savior

            
 needs angels 

      
up in heaven
              
Now they sing 

             
around the gre

      
at white thron

e

              
As the years r

             
oll by I often

   
 wonder
              
If we will all

             
 be together s

 
omeday
              
And each night

             
 as I wander t

            
hrough the gra

veyard
              
Darkness finds

            
 me as I kneel

      
 to pray
