Old Virginia Hills Lyrics by Alice Gerrard

Calling Me Home: Songs of Love and Loss

2004

[Verse 1: Alice Gerrard]
Oh, the old Virginia Hills
How majestic and how grand
With their summits baked in glory
Like the Prince Emmanuel's land
Is it any wonder then
That my heart would rapture thrills
As I stand once more with loved ones
On the old Virginia Hills?
[Chorus: Alice Gerrard & Brad Leftwich]
Oh, the hills
Beautiful hills
How I love the old Virginia Hills
If or land or sea I roam
Still, I think of happy home
And my friends among the old Virginia Hills
[Verse 2: Alice Gerrard]
Oh, you old Virginia Hills
Where my girlhood hours were passed
Where I often wandered lonely
And the future drived the cast
Many were the visions pride
Which the future neer fulfilled
Yet how sunny were my daydreams
On the old Virginia Hills
[Chorus: Alice Gerrard & Brad Leftwich]
Oh, the hills
Beautiful hills
How I love the old Virginia Hills
If or land or sea I roam
Still, I think of happy home
And my friends among the old Virginia Hills
[Verse 3: Alice Gerrard]
Oh the old Virginia kills
How unchanged they seem to stand
With their summits pointing skyward
To the great almighty land
Many changes can I see
Which my heart, with sadness fills
But no changes can be noticed in
The old Virginia hills
[Chorus: Alice Gerrard & Brad Leftwich]
Oh, the hills
Beautiful hills
How I love the old Virginia Hills
If or land or sea I roam
Still, I think of happy home
And my friends among the old Virginia Hills
[Verse 4: Alice Gerrard]
Oh, you old Virginia hills
I must bid you now adieu
In my home beyond the mountains
I shall ever dream of you
In the even tide of life
If my spirit only wills
I shall still behold the vision
Of the old Virginia Hills
[Chorus: Alice Gerrard & Brad Leftwich]
Oh, the hills
Beautiful hills
How I love the old Virginia Hills
If or land or sea I roam
Still, I think of happy home
And my friends among the old Virginia Hills
