Alright, we're gonna sing you a song now, or I'm gonna sing you a song called Come All You Virginia Gals.
Sing along!
Sort of a, it's a cording [B] song, but it's a warning song, and well, you should sing along.
[A]
Come All You Virginia Gals
[E] Well, come all you Virginia gals and listen to my noise
Don't you go cardinal, ask [Em] Virginia boys
[A] And if you do, your fortune's beat
Johnny cakes and venison [E]
and [A] sassafras tea
Johnny cakes and [E] venison and [A] sassafras tea
And when they come a-cordin' I'll tell you what the way
A long-tailed coach is about to turn
An old straw hat, nor a brimmed-man crown
A pair of worn socks, they wear the year round
A pair of worn socks, [E] they wear the [A] whole year round
[Em]
[A]
And when they come a [E]-cordin' I'll tell you what [A] they'll say
First they'll say, did your daddy shoot a bear?
Then they'll say when they sit down
Honey, can you bake [E] them Johnny [A] cakes brown?
Honey, can you bake them Johnny cakes brown?
And when they build a house, they'll build it with log walls
And won't have windows [Em] and headalls
[A] A clapboard roof and an oil-slab door
Sands, brown chimney and a plungeon floor
Sands, brown chimney [E] and a plungeon [A] floor
And if they marry you, they'll take you to the Allegheny Hills
There you'll live and there you'll make your will
There you'll sit and stare [Em] into space
[A] For that is the way of the West Virginia race
That is the way [E] of the West [A] Virginia race
So come on you Virginia gals and listen to my noise
Don't you go a-cordin' on West Virginia, boy
And if you do, you're sure [Em] to be
[A] Johnny cakes and venison and sassafras
Johnny cakes and [E] venison and [A] sassafras
[F#] [A]
