The Stanley Brothers - The White Dove Lyrics

Lyrics The White Dove - The Stanley Brothers




In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
There's a place I love so well
Where I spent many days of my childhood
In the cabin where we loved to dwell
White doves will mourn in sorrow
The willows will hang their heads
I'll live my life in sorrow
Since mother and daddy are dead
We were all so happy there together
In our peaceful little mountain home
But the Savior needs angels in heaven
Now they sing around that great white throne
White doves will mourn in sorrow
The willows will hang their heads
I'll live my life in sorrow
Since mother and daddy are dead
As the years roll by, I often wonder
Will we all be together someday?
And each night as I wander to the graveyard
Darkness finds me where I kneel to pray
White doves will mourn in sorrow
The willows will hang their heads
I'll live my life in sorrow
Since mother and daddy are dead
