I'm looking for any info on a tune that I heard a local blues band in central NY perform. The chorus went..

Come on Come on down Sweet virginia

Come on Come on down You know it's you

Etc

If anyone knows anything about it I would love to find the entire song somewhere

Thanks Jim

Spaw,

That's it.

I had no idea it was a stones song. I had been ignoring every hit on Sweet virginia that said it was a stones song.... dope

Thanks

I've always said the Stones are the World's Greatest Country band. Sweet Virginia, Dear Doctor, The Girl With Far Away Eyes. Classic Country songs, all of them.

Stone luvvin fool here, especially the earlier stuff, check out how much they used an accoustic guitar back in the sixties, incredible. Sweet Virginia, when properly done, will raise the roof.

Right on! Check out the albums Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, and Exile On Main Street. Too bad these weren't more well known than their cliche hits, they could have been more influential than the Fab Four. Amazing too how much modern country bands sound like pale imitations of the Stones circa Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out.

Oh help me, please doctor. Mooh.
