[00:01.14]O Virginia
[00:14.58]You been trailin’ off too fast
[00:16.33]
[00:24.08]You laid your dress down
[00:25.26]
[00:31.02]In that old Kentucky grass
[00:32.77]
[00:38.64]You said your baby was the prince of Persia
[00:42.39]
[00:44.83]All he did was worship you
[00:47.39]
[00:52.33]Do you remember what your daddy told you
[00:55.02]
[00:57.39]When he would hold you
[00:58.83]
[01:05.33]And when everything was going hazy
[01:08.08]
[01:09.70]Did you ever think that this is crazy now?
[01:13.02]
[01:17.89]O but even though you missed the warning
[01:20.83]
[01:21.89]There’s a mercy born on every morning
[01:24.52]
[01:26.45]O Virginia
[01:27.14]
[01:36.83]You been on the road too long
[01:38.83]
[01:47.20]You learned the grinding
[01:48.21]
[01:53.45]Yeah but you forgot the song
[01:55.27]
[02:05.20]In your memory it’s the angels falling
[02:06.96]
[02:07.83]And the men all calling you
[02:09.83]
[02:15.45]And when you answer at the door, you’re there
[02:18.14]
[02:21.14]Ready to share
[02:21.83]
[02:24.52]But O Virginia, there’s nothing left
[02:29.89]
[02:36.96]In the war between the blame and pity
[02:39.64]
[02:41.39]Your words were smooth, but your teeth were gritty, girl
[02:45.08]
[02:49.77]Cause you wouldn’t lay down your defenses,
[02:52.33]
[02:54.08]And admit the way you killed your senses
[02:56.39]
[03:01.46]When everything was going hazy
[03:02.46]
[03:03.02]You did not believe that this is crazy now
[03:03.77]And, Virginia, though you missed the warning
[03:04.02]The angels wept and prayed for mourning
[03:04.83]O Virginia
[03:05.33]That young sweet and tender girl
