Virginia, you are home sweet home to me

From the corn fields of Wisconsin
to the woods of Tennessee,
Many lovely places I have seen;
A windy Irish farmstead,
Sonoma’s vineyard fields
Remind me of the place I long to be.

The prettiest places all look like Virginia
No matter where I go, or who I see
The prettiest places all look like Virginia
Virginia you are home sweet home to me

The Black Hills of Dakota,
the rocky coast of Maine,
The lake shores of the MidWest,
Sunflowers on the plains
All share a glimpse of beauty,
that makes my heart glow;
They show me what I love about my home

It’s days like this when I miss Virginia most
I never hear the whippoorwill, or the bobwhite singing free
I’ve traveled so far, but it’s home that holds my hopes
Virginia you are home sweet home to me

The prettiest places all look like Virginia
No matter where I go, or who I see
The prettiest places all look like Virginia
Virginia you are home sweet home to me
