My Virginia rose is blooming
      C                 G
She’s waiting there for me

In the hills of old Virginia

That’s where I long to be

She wears a winning’ smile
        C               G
And her loving eyes are blue
      C               G
She’s won my heart forever

[Verse 3]
G
Beneath the scarlet maple
       C                G
By the twinkling little spring
       C               G
That’s where I bid her promise
    D
And gave to her the ring

G
Springtime is approaching’
    C                   G
The birds and doves are here
C                   G
They are singing so sweetly
    D                  G
But none can sing like her

G
It’s love that calls me to you
   C               G
My rose that never fades
   C                 G
Or loses its crimson leaves of love
D
Love that’s perfect made

I long to see my darlin’
      C              G
There in the mist of dew

With the diamond dewdrops all ‘round her

She’ll be a queen in the view

My darling's in Virginia

Her age is just sixteen

I’m a long, long ways from my darlin’

My Virginia rose is blooming
      D                 G
She’s waiting there for me
