My Virginia Rose Is Blooming is a song recorded by the Carters in 1935. The song was collected by Perry in the JOAFL 1945 but I don't have access to the lyrics and info.

To me this seems like a rewrite by A.P. of "Yellow Rose of Texas:"

There's a Yellow Rose in Texas
She's waiting there for me.

This probably is a song written by A.P. At this time A.P. and Sara were separated.


MY VIRGINIA ROSE IS BLOOMING
Carter Family- Original

My Virginia rose is blooming
She's waiting now for me
In the hills of old Virginia
Is where I long to be
She wears a winning smile
And her loving eyes are blue
She's won my heart forever
For she's a girl that's true

Beneath the scarlet maple
By the trickling little spring
Was where I made the promise
And gave to her the ring
Springtime is approaching
The birds and doves are here
They are singing so sweetly
But none can sing like her

It's love that calls you to me
My rose that never fades
And lose its crimson leaves of love
Love that's perfect made
I long to see my darling
There in the midst of dew
With the sparkling dewdrops all around her
She'll be a queen and a view

She's a wild rose in the forest
A fairy in a dream
My darling's in Virginia
Her age is just 16
It's a long, long ways from my darling
Just a little too far to be
My Virginia rose is blooming
She's waiting now for me
