We were wed in the hills of ol` Virginia
We were happy there together all alone
But I strayed away from my darlin
Through this dark and stormy night I`m goin home
When the high wind blows from heaven
I whisper your name alone
I`m on my way back darlin`
As the midnight storm rolls on
When the cold dreary rain starts fallin
And the clouds hide the bright golden moon
As I see your face right before me
I can cry as I sing this lonesome tune
