My Virginia Rose Is Blooming

G G My Virginia rose is blooming C G She’s waiting there for me C G In the hills of old Virginia D That’s where I long to be G She wears a winning’ smile C G And her loving eyes are blue C G She’s won my heart forever D G For she’s the girl that’s true C D G G Beneath the scarlet maple C G By the twinkling little spring C G That’s where I bid her promise D And gave to her the ring G Springtime is approaching’ C G The birds and doves are here C G They are singing so sweetly D G But none can sing like her C D G G It’s love that calls me to you C G My rose that never fades C G Or loses its crimson leaves of love D Love that’s perfect made G I long to see my darlin’ C G There in the mist of dew C G With the diamond dewdrops all ‘round her D G She’ll be a queen in the view C D G G She’s a wild rose in the forest C G A fairy in a dream C G My darling's in Virginia D Her age is just sixteen G I’m a long, long ways from my darlin’ C G Just a little too far to be C G My Virginia rose is blooming D G She’s waiting there for me
