GOING BACK TO OLD VIRGINIA
(David McLaughlin)

cho: I'm goin' back to old Virginia; I'm going back to my home.
I'm goin' back to the valley, and I never more will roam.

My old home is in the valley where the Shenandoah flows.
Why I left my lovin' family no one on earth will ever know.

It was there I met my darlin'. For me she was the only one.
But I left her there a-cryin'. I'm sorry now for what I've done.

I'm goin' there to see my darlin' and my mom and papa too.
There's one thing that I have learned now: Nobody else will ever do.


As sung by Josh Crowe & David McLaughlin on "Going Back," 1993,
and in the Rounder collection "Hills of Home," 1995.
