Lyrics Virginia - The Marshall Tucker Band

I met Virginia two summers ago
Up in them mountains, teachin school
Oh Lord in a one room shack
Teachin the children all she knew

We spent a lot of hours together
And one day she said she loved me for all time
And I'm in love with my Virginia
And I hope she don't change her mind.

We took a trip to Montana
Guess we were lookin for gold
Never saw a trace of it
But it was everywhere, we were told
Worked in a mine for thirteen hours every day
I took one look at my Virginia
And knew she wasn't meant to live that way

The goin' was rough, but she treated me so kind
I'm in love with miss Virginia
And I hope she don't change her mind

Now we're back in Carolina
Up in them Smokeys where we belong
Never knew why we went away
Can't understand why we were gone

Been with her twenty years
And all those years she made me feel so fine
She still tells me that she loves me
And I hope she don't change her mind
Oh I hope she don't change her mind
