From the recording O Virgin-ee-i-a
Lyrics
Chorus:
O VIrgin--ee-i-a, I'm coming down to see you,
O Virgin--ee-i-a, I'm coming down some day.
1. From Ohio up north of the hills
To Shenandoah, to your deep green valley.
2. My Love there awaits, so far away
My heart beats there true, Oh what can I do?
3. But she wants me not, no love does she feel
The life that we shared, has lost its appeal.
4. My hope crumbles dry, as bread for the birds
And my anguished cry, no mourning dove has heard.
