In the deep rolling hills of old virginia

There's a place there love too well

Where I spent many days of my childhood

In the cabin where we loved so well

White dove will mourn in sorrow

The willows will hang their head

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 angels needed her in heaven

Now she sings around the great white throne

White dove will mourn in sorrow

The willows will hang their head

I'll live my life in sorrow oh since mother and daddy are dead

As the years roll by I often wonder

If we'll ever be together someday

And each night as I wander to the graveyard

Darkness finds me where I kneel to pray

White dove will mourn in sorrow oh

The willows will hang their head

I'll live my life in sorrow oh since mother and daddy are dead

I'll live my life in sorrow oh since mother and daddy are dead
