My Old Virginia Home was recorded by the Carters in 1935. Fiddler Miller Wikel recorded a song by that title twice; once in 1928 and again in 1929 but the sides were not released. My Old Virginia Home by Charles T. Frey in 1855 is similar in sentiment but not the same song.

This certainly seems like a Carter Family original based on the title. Anyone have any other info?

MY OLD VIRGINIA HOME- Carter Family

It was on one winter day from my home I went away
Far away from friends and home I longed to roam
But tonight I'm lone and sad just a little homesick lad
And I'm longing for my old Virginia home

I'm a lad from old Virginia bravely knocking my way back home
To that cabin home in the mountains never more let me roam
I'm a lad from old Virginia and I'm coming coming home
There I'll settle down forever in my old Virginia home

Since I left that little shack how my mind has wandered back
How mother often prayed for her lad
But from her I went astray and I know I've dearly paid
So I'm coming back to mother and my dad
