A Far Cry
I remember the face of an angel
A love that was faithful and true
I left that dear girl in the mountains
For a ramblin' life empty and blue
Sweet roses bloom where they're planted
Wildflowers seed on the wind
That valley was closer to heaven
Than any place this poor fool's been
It's a far cry from here to Virginia
But I'd crawl every inch of that ground
My teardrops fall like the rain on the roof
Of that Blue Ridge home where I'm bound
This highway's a ribbon of lonesome
Don't care where I lay my head down
Virginia has died broken-hearted
My sweet mountain darlin' is gone
It's a far cry from here to Virginia
But I'd crawl every inch of that ground
My teardrops fall like rain on the roof
Of that Blue Ridge home where I'm bound
My teardrops fall like rain on the roof
Of that Blue Ridge home where I'm bound
I remember the face of an angel
A love that was faithful and true
I left that dear girl in the mountains
For a ramblin' life empty and blue
Sweet roses bloom where they're planted
Wildflowers seed on the wind
That valley was closer to heaven
Than any place this poor fool's been
It's a far cry from here to Virginia
But I'd crawl every inch of that ground
My teardrops fall like the rain on the roof
Of that Blue Ridge home where I'm bound
This highway's a ribbon of lonesome
Don't care where I lay my head down
Virginia has died broken-hearted
My sweet mountain darlin' is gone
It's a far cry from here to Virginia
But I'd crawl every inch of that ground
My teardrops fall like rain on the roof
Of that Blue Ridge home where I'm bound
My teardrops fall like rain on the roof
Of that Blue Ridge home where I'm bound
I remember the face of an angel
