Raining in Roanoke

[Verse 1]
Well, Virginia is for lovers, and Lord knows you've had aplenty
But you weren't supposed to love them, while you was a-lovin' me
I can't shake these blues, and I can't forget these memories
So I'm leavin' rainy Roanoke for sunny Tennessee

[Chorus]
It's rainin' in Roanoke, and I'm leavin' here this mornin'
It's cloudy in Virginia, as far as I can see
But the blues ain't gonna follow to the place where I am goin'
For the sun is always shinin' way down in Tennessee

[Verse 2]
Well, I may stop off in Bristol, and I may head down to Nashville
Might go to the Opry with the first girl I see
Wе'll have us a good time down wherе the sun is shinin'
'Long as she ain't from Virginia, that'll be alright with me

[Chorus]
It's rainin' in Roanoke, and I'm leavin' here this mornin'
It's cloudy in Virginia, as far as I can see
But the blues ain't gonna follow to the place where I am goin'
For the sun is always shinin' way down in Tennessee

[Chorus]
It's rainin' in Roanoke, and I'm leavin' here this mornin'
It's cloudy in Virginia, as far as I can see
But the blues ain't gonna follow to the place where I am goin'
For the sun is always shinin' way down in Tennessee
