[Intro]
G D7 G
[Verse 1]
G G7 C
In the deep rolling hills of ol' Virginia
G D7
There's a place that I love so well
G G7 C
Where I spent many of days of my childhood
G D7 G
In a cabin where we loved to dwell
[Chorus]
G G7 C
White doves will mourn in sorrow
G D7 G
All the willows will hang their heads
G7 C
I'll live my life in sorrow
G D7 G
Since Mother and Daddy are dead
[Interlude]
G D7 G
[Verse 2]
G G7 C
We were all so happy there together
G D7
In our peaceful little mountain home
G G7 C
But the Savior needed angels there in heaven
G D7 G
And now they sing around that great white throne
[Chorus]
G G7 C
White doves will mourn in sorrow
G D7 G
The willows will hang their heads

I'll live my life in sorrow

[Verse 3]
G G7 C
As the years go by, I often wonder
G D7
Will we all be together someday?
G G7 C
But at nighttime, you'll find me by their graveside
G D7 G
As I kneel in prayer to say
[Chorus]
G G7 C
White doves will mourn in sorrow
G D7 G
The willows will hang their heads
G7 C
I'll live my life in sorrow
G D7 G
Since Mother and Daddy are dead
D7 N.C.
Since Mother and Daddy are dead
