The One I Left Behind

Buddy, can we talk about Virginia
 Talk about the blue ridge and the old
 Lonesome pine
 Tell me about the Shenandoah Valley
 And don't forget my true
 Love, the one I left behind
 I used to make a decent living
 How it used to rain cattle
 On that farm of mine
 Now I'm stuck here in this mighty city
 Sweeping floors and cleaning windows
 Just to buy my wine
 So buddy, can we talk about Virginia
 Talk about the blue ridge and the old
 Lonesome pine
 Tell me about the Shenandoah Valley
 And don't forget my true
 Love, the one I left behind
 I built a home and family in the coal field
 Digging black diamond from an island
 Creek mine
 But now I'm so alone here in this city
 I dream about my darling wife
 She's always on my mind
 So buddy, can we talk about Virginia
 Talk about the blue ridge and the old
 Lonesome pine
 Tell me about the Shenandoah Valley
 And don't forget my true
 Love, the one I left behind
 Buddy, can we talk about Virginia
 Talk about the blue ridge and the old
 Lonesome pine
 Tell me about the Shenandoah Valley
 And don't forget my true
 Love, the one I left behind
 And don't forget my true love
 The one I left behind
