White Dove (Stanley Bros.) written by Carter Stanley
Valley Park, Mo 080408
Banjo tuned E, No Capo Key of D
VG note:  Live at McClure's  Album also has this song in Key of E
In thDe deep rolling Ghills of old DVirginia
There's a place Gthat I love so wAell
Where I Dspent many dGays of my cDhildhood
In the cabin where wA7e loved to Ddwell
White dove will Gmourn in Dsorrow
The willows wilGl hang their Aheads
I'll live my lGife in sorrDow
Since mother and A7daddy are dDead
We were all so Ghappy there tDogether
In our peaceful Glittle mountAain home
But the Savior needA7s angels up in Dheaven
Now they sing arounAd the great whiDte throne
As the years roGll by I often woDnder
If we will all be togGether soAmeday
And each night as I wGander through the gDraveyard
Darkness finds me as I A7kneel to prDay

In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia

There's a place that I love so well

D G D

Where I spent many days of my childhood

In the cabin where we loved to dwell

We were all so happy there together

If we will all be together someday

And each night as I wander through the graveyard

Darkness finds me as I kneel to pray
