I’m Coming Virginia

Donald Heywood, Will Marion Cook

Stop the traffic to Dixie
Hold it right at the line
Don't want nothin' betwixt me
And that old home of mine
I'm so homesick and lonely
Every hour seems a day
But there is one and one only
Understands when I say

I'm comin' Virginia
I'm comin' to stay
Dont hold it against me
For runnin' away
I've tried to forget you
And found I was wrong
'Neath your bright Southern moon
Once more I'll croon
A dear old mammy tune
And if I can win ya
I'll never more roam
I'm comin' Virginia
My Dixieland home

I'm comin' Virginia (Virginia)
I'm comin' to stay (Stay)
Dont hold it against me (Against me)
For runnin' away (Away, 'ginia)
I've tried to forget you (Forget you)
And found I'm all wrong
(And now I felt that I was wrong)
'Neath your bright Southern moon
Once more I'll croon
A dear old mammy tune
And if I can win ya
I'll never more roam
I'm comin' Virginia
My Dixieland home

My Dixieland home
