We were wed in the hills of ol' Virginia We were happy there together all alone But I strayed away from my darlin Through this dark and stormy night I'm goin home When the high wind blows from heaven I whisper your name alone I'm on my way back darlin' As the midnight storm rolls on When the cold dreary rain starts fallin And the clouds hide the bright golden moon As I see your face right before me I can cry as I sing this lonesome tune
