lyrics

In the Hills of Old Virginia
H&S Owens

In the hills of old Virginia
That is where he was found
On the side of Sugarloaf Mountain
His bones lay scattered on the ground

He disappeared late one November
Runnin’ from the voices in his head
They searched for him all through December
They finally gave him up for dead

CHORUS

In the springtime a young couple were out walkin’
The dogwood trees were bloomin’ everywhere
What they came upon quickly stopped their talkin’
All they could do was stand and stare

CHORUS

I still recall the last time that I saw him
At a truck stop just north of Charlottesville
On Route 29 heading some place
He never told me where, now he never will…

CHORUS
