I remember the face of an angel
Love that was faithful and true.
I left that dear boy in the mountains,
For a rambling life, empty and blue.
Sweet roses bloom where theyâre planted,
Wild flowers seed in the wind,
That valley was closer to heaven
Than any place this poor foolâs been.
Itâs a far cry from here to Virginia,
But Iâd crawl every inch of that ground.
My teardrops fall like rain on the roof,
Of that blue raged home where Iâm bound.
This highwayâs a raven of long term,
Donât care where I lay my head down.
My Virginia boy died broken hearted,
My sweet mountain darling is gone.
Itâs a far cry from here to Virginia,
But Iâd crawl every inch of that ground.
My teardrops fall like rain on the roof,
Of that blue raged home where Iâm bound.
My teardrops fall like rain on the roof
Of that blue raged home, of that blue raged home where Iâm bound.
