"By The Waters Of The James" lyrics
There's a place in old Virginia
Where the dogwoods bloom in spring
In the mountains and the valleys
You can hear the cardinals sing
When my earthly race is over
And the angels call my name
Hope there's a Blueridge up in heaven
And a river like the James
'Cause it's where I'll raise my family
And it's where I'll stake my claim
'Cause my home's in old Virginia
By the waters of the James
There's a place in old Virginia
Where the dogwoods bloom in spring
In the mountains and the valleys
You can hear the cardinals sing
When my earthly race is over
And the angels call my name
Hope there's a Blueridge up in heaven
And a river like the James
'Cause it's where I'll raise my family
And it's where I'll stake my claim
'Cause my home's in old Virginia
By the waters of the James
Where the dogwoods bloom in spring
In the mountains and the valleys
You can hear the cardinals sing
When my earthly race is over
And the angels call my name
Hope there's a Blueridge up in heaven
And a river like the James
'Cause it's where I'll raise my family
And it's where I'll stake my claim
'Cause my home's in old Virginia
By the waters of the James
There's a place in old Virginia
Where the dogwoods bloom in spring
In the mountains and the valleys
You can hear the cardinals sing
When my earthly race is over
And the angels call my name
Hope there's a Blueridge up in heaven
And a river like the James
'Cause it's where I'll raise my family
And it's where I'll stake my claim
'Cause my home's in old Virginia
By the waters of the James
