'Mid the Green Fields of Virginia Songtext

von Jim and Jesse

'Mid the green fields of Virginia in the veil of Shenandoah
There's an ivy covered homestead that I love
With it's white old fashioned chimneys and its simple homelike hours
Is 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 veil 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 wandered to that spot to sing and play
And how often I have thrown a stone into the pebbling brook
I would dream someday it'd carry me away
