O, Virginia歌词

O Virginia
You been trailin’ off too fast

You laid your dress down

In that old Kentucky grass

You said your baby was the prince of Persia

All he did was worship you

Do you remember what your daddy told you

When he would hold you

And when everything was going hazy

Did you ever think that this is crazy now?

O but even though you missed the warning

There’s a mercy born on every morning

O Virginia

You been on the road too long

You learned the grinding

Yeah but you forgot the song

In your memory it’s the angels falling

And the men all calling you

And when you answer at the door, you’re there

Ready to share

But O Virginia, there’s nothing left

In the war between the blame and pity

Your words were smooth, but your teeth were gritty, girl

Cause you wouldn’t lay down your defenses,

And admit the way you killed your senses

When everything was going hazy

You did not believe that this is crazy now
And, Virginia, though you missed the warning
The angels wept and prayed for mourning
O Virginia
That young sweet and tender girl
