'Mid the green fields of Virginia In the veil of Shenandoah There's an ivy covered homestead that I love With it's white old fashioned chimney And it's simple homelike hours Tis the home of my dear parents now above.
There's a peaceful cottage there A happy home so dear My heart is longing for them day by day Where I spent my golden hours In the veil of Shenandoah 'Mid the green fields of Virginia far away.
'Mid the green fields of Virginia Stands an old mill by the stream I once wandered to that spot to sing and play And how often I would throw the stone Into the pebbling brook I would dream someday it'd carry me away.
