Frank Sinatra - I Went Down To Virginia Lyrics

I went down to Virginia and no one sent for me
I went down to Virginia to see what I could see
Well, I found the horses fastest, and the girls look best
The spirits of the states are guaranteed high test
So, I stayed down in Virginia 'cause that looked good to me

I went down to Virginia and I didn't know a soul
No wonder folks befriend ya, their hearts are made of pure gold
While the civic minded citizens are all so kind
They see to it you hook a fish on every line
So, I stayed down in Virginia, that's how much I've been so

So, bless the day that brought me here
And bless the folks I love so dear
Well, brother, if you ever plan a-coming this way
You find the things that's just exactly like I say
And you stayed down in Virginia, Virginia, U.S.A.

Yes, I went down to Virginia, I went by my request
No one needs recommend ya, 'cause you are a welcome guest
Well, I never thought I'd find a place where I could be
Just happy as a jaybird in a cherry tree
So, I stayed down in Virginia, 'cause that's the very best

So, bless the day that brought me here
And bless the folks I love so dear
Why, I plumb forgot to mention 'bout the biggest deal
My girl is named Virginia, that's Virginia real
So, I stayed down in Virginia, Virginia, Virginia, U.S.A.
