Virginia Blues by

Noel Heslip and Thad Beckman

I woke up this morning

I looked up at the sky

Black planes were coming

I could not tell you why

Chorus

I got the blues so bad

I don’t believe I can go on

I’m gonna put rocks in my pockets

I’m goin’ to sink just like a stone

Something I want to tell you baby

Before I go

If it wasn’t for your lovin’ babe

I’d a been gone long ago

Chorus

I heard the birds a singin’

Accusin’ me in Greek

I tried to state my case

But I could not even speak

Chorus

I watch the river runnin’

It’s runnin’ cold and free

I’m gonna slip into that blackness

I’m gonna give up bein’ me

Chorus
