White Dove
Old & In The Way
(Ralph Stanley)


Intro:
E    B    E


       E            E7              A
In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
          E               B
There’s a place I love so well
        E          E7         A
Where I spent many days of my childhood
       E              B        E
In the cabin where we loved to dwell

Chorus:
White Dove will mourn in sorrow
The willow will hang their head
I live my life in sorrow
Since mother and daddy are dead

We were all so happy there together
In our peaceful little country home
But the savior needs angels up in heaven
Now they sing around the great White Dove

Chorus

Instrumental

As the years roll by I often wonder
Will we all meet together someday
And each night as I wander through the graveyard
Darkness finds me where I kneel to pray

Chorus
