[Verse 1]
E A
In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
E B7
There's a place I love so well
E A
Where I spent many days in my childhood
E B7 E
In the cabin where we used to dwell
[Chorus]
E A
White dove will mourn in sorrow
E B7 E
The willows will hang their head
E A
I live my life in sorrow
E B7 E E A E B7
Since mother and daddy are dead

[Verse 2]
E A
We were all so happy there together
E B7
In our peaceful mountain home
E E7 A
But the saviour needs angels up in heaven
E B7 E
Now they sing around the great white throne
[Chorus]
E A
White dove will mourn in sorrow
E B7 E
The willows will hang their head
E A
I live my life in sorrow
E B7 E
Since mother and daddy are dead

[Verse 3]
E E7 A
As the years roll by I often wonder
E B7
Will we all meet together someday
E E7 A
And each night as I wander through the graveyard
E B7 E
Darkness finds me where I kneel to pray
[Outro]
E A
White dove will mourn in sorrow
E B7 E
The willows will hang their head
E A
I live my life in sorrow
E B7 E
Since mother and daddy are dead
E A
I live my life in sorrow
E B7 E
Since mother and daddy are dead
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
White dove will mourn in sorrow
The willows will hang their heads
I’ll 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 as I kneel to pray
