E  B7  E  E

[VERSE]
E                   E7              A
In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
          E               B7
There’s a place I love so well
        E          E7         A
Where I spent many days of my childhood
       E              B7       E
In the cabin where we loved to dwell

[CHORUS]
E               E7       A
White dove will mourn in sorrow, oh
    E            B7         E
The willows will hang their heads
E            E7      A
I’ll live my life in sorrow, oh
      E          B7        E     E  B7  E  E
Since mother and daddy are dead

[VERSE]
E              E7            A
We were all so happy there together
       E                        B7
In our peaceful little mountain home
        E            E7           A
But the Savior needs angels up in heaven
         E               B7          E
Now they sing around the great white throne

[CHORUS]
E               E7       A
White dove will mourn in sorrow, oh
    E            B7         E
The willows will hang their heads
E            E7      A
I’ll live my life in sorrow, oh
      E          B7        E     E  B7  E  E
Since mother and daddy are dead

[VERSE]
E                 E7         A
As the years roll by I often wonder
        E                   B7
Will we all be together someday
         E          E7                 A
And each night as I wander through the graveyard
         E                B7       E
Darkness finds me where I kneel to pray

[CHORUS]
E               E7       A
White dove will mourn in sorrow, oh
    E            B7         E
The willows will hang their heads
E            E7      A
I’ll live my life in sorrow, oh
      E          B7        E
Since mother and daddy are dead
