Found on several websites, including  Gary's Collection of Bluegrass song lyrics:

WHITE DOVE

(Carter Stanley)

In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia,
There's a place that I love so well;
Where I spent many days of my childhood,
In the cabin where we loved to dwell.

Refrain:

White dove will mourn in sorrow,
The willows will hang their heads.
I live my life in sorrow
Since mother and daddy are dead.

We were all so happy there together
In our peaceful little mountain home,
But the Savior needs angels up in heaven;
Now they sing around the great white throne.

As the years roll by I often wonder
If we will all be together someday;
And each night as I wander through the graveyard,
Darkness finds me trying to pray.

Other sources have these variant lines:

In the beautiful hills of old Virginia There's a place I love so well...

I'll live my life in sorrow...

Darkness finds me where I kneel to pray.


No clues as to the tune.
