Title: Let Them Know I'm From Virginia
Went up north to the city
lived there nearly all my life
let me make this last request dear
in this city I will die
Let em' know I'm from Virginia
by the way you mark my grave
when I die please promise me that you'll plant
some mountain laurel dog wood flowers on my grave
When my life down here is over
and my race on earth is run
when those strangers gather around me
let them know what state I'm from
Let em' know I'm from Virginia
by the way you mark my grave
when I die please promise me that you'll plant
some mountain laurel dog wood flowers on my grave
Bury me back in the mountains
way back in the hills
where i can see the flowers blooming
and I can hear the whippoorwills
Let em' know I'm from Virginia
by the way you mark my grave
when I die please promise me that you'll plant
some mountain laurel dog wood flowers on my grave
