I’m comin’ Virginia,
I’m comin’ to stay;
Don’t hold it agin me
For runnin’ away.
I’ve tried to forget you
And found I'm all wrong;
Underneath your bright southern moon
Once more I’ll croon
Dear old mammy tune.
And if I can win you
I’ll never more roam;
I’m comin’ Virginia,
My Dixieland home.
Stop the traffic to Dixie
Hold it right on the line
Don’t want nothing come betwixt me
And that old home of mine
I’m so sad and so lonely
And I'm longing to be
Where a light is always burning
In a window for me
I’m comin’ Virginia,
I’m comin’ to stay;
Don’t hold it agin me
For runnin’ away.
I’ve tried to forget you
And found I'm all wrong;
Underneath your bright southern moon
Once more I’ll croon
Dear old mammy tune.
If I can win ya,
I’ll never more roam;
I’m comin’ Virginia,
My Dixieland home.
