C F I come from the valley, I'm a rebel boy, C G Born on the banks of the Shenandoah. C F In '61 I went to the war C G C To win one for Virginia! C F Yeah, my brother went first then they called me, too. C G I was green as clover in the morning dew, C F So I marched to the drum and I sang to the tune: C G C Carry me back to Virginia!

G C Fire in the cannon, water in the well, F G Raced through the valley with a rebel yell. G C F G I learned right quick how to march like hell and affix that bayonet. C F Won't ya' carry me back? C F Won't ya' carry me back? C G C Carry me back to Virginia! C F With a sword and a saddle, powder in the gun, C G We thought for a minute our fight was done. C F So they lined us up to the metals arm, C G C And hammered us into the quicksand. C F Then they burned that valley in a blaze of fire, C G Cut through the lands like a red hot iron. C F 'Til the men took cover where the horses piled, C G C Then we shivered and then hold against them. G C But the war raged on like flames of hell, F G We dug through the pockets of the ones who fell, G C Dressed in rags and we ate that grass F G When they cut off our legs we cried! C F Wont ya carry me back? C F Wont ya carry me back? C G C Carry me back to Virginia! C F Wont ya carry me back? C F Wont ya carry me back? C G C Carry me back to Virginia. C F And they died in the valley, died in the swamp, C G On the banks of the river where the whitetail jumped. C F Died in the ditches, died in the fields, C G In the belly of a wagon for a womans to heal, C F Died in the war, starved in the camps. C G Locked in the prisons of a meaner man. C F Spilled our blood in the fight to defend C G C And to bury the tome of a-dixieland! G C Down in Alabama, down in Caroline, F G Way down in Gerogie, on the Tennessee line. G C We fought for the rebels, and Robert E. Lee, F G Now we want to go home to Virginia. F G Say we want to go home to Virginia! C F Wont ya carry me back? C F Wont ya carry me back? C G C Carry me back to Virginia. C F Wont ya carry me back? C F Wont ya carry me back? C G C
