Lyrics
- It seems her name was Virginia
She was a Southern girl
He said, “Virginia, I’ll win ya
And we’ll live here in Virginia”
He saw a ring on her finger
Just as he reached for her hand
She said “It’s best not to linger”
He said “I understand”
Chorus
Goodbye, Virginia
I love the loveliness, that’s in ya
I’ll miss Virginia’s beautiful, beautiful eyes
I’ll miss Virginia’s beautiful
Beautiful skies and flowers
It’s no wonder I am weeping
Both Virginia’s are divine,
I couldn’t get you, so I must forget you
Dear Virginia mine
- Vows are not made to be broken
That’s why they said goodbye
Although goodbye when it’s spoken
Leaves many hearts sad and broken
Although she’ll never be near him
Since they both parted that day
Some how at times she can hear him
He almost seems to say
