Lyrics

In the lush Virginia hills
 They kept her as long as they could
 'Cause they knew when the white brother found
 White shell beads wrapped around her
 Skin a life giving river
 Her body open as will his hand
 And with a "goodbye" there she goes
 She may betray all that she loves
 And even wait for their saviour to come
 And in some things maybe he'll be right
 But as always the thing that he loves he will change
 From her sunrise to clockwise to soul trading
 Still she'll lay down her body covering him all the same
 So hundreds of years go by
 (The red road carved up by Sharp Knife)
 She's a girl out working her trade
 And she loses a little each day
 To ghetto pimps and presidents
 Who try and arouse her turquoise serpents
 She can't recall what they represent
 And when you ask she won't know
 She will betray all that she loves
 And even wait for their saviour to come
 And in some things maybe he'll be right
 But as always the thing that he loves he will change
 From her sunrise to clockwise to soul trading
 Still she'll lay down her body covering him all the same
 Oh Virginia
 Do you remember?
 You won't even you
 Oh Virginia
 When the land held your hand
 You won't even you
 When the Land held your hand
 Oh Virginia
 You won't even you
 She will let you back in
 Oh Virginia
 Do you remember
 oh Virginia
 You can't remember your name
