Lyrics

Stop the traffic to Dixie
Hold it right on the line
Don’t want nothing come betwixt me
And that old home of mine

I’m so tired and so lonely
Every hour seems a day
For there’s one and one only
Understands what I say

I’m comin’,
I’m comin’ Virginia,
I’m comin’ to stay;
Don’t hold it agin me
For runnin’ away.

I’ve tried to forget you
But found I was wrong;
‘Neath your bright southern moon
Once more I’ll croon
An old familiar tune.

And if I can win ya,
I’ll never more roam;
I’m comin’ Virginia,
My Dixieland home.

Been a year since you seen me,
That’s an awfully long time!
Don’t want nothin’ inbetween me
And that old home of mine.

I’m so tired and so lonely,
Every hour seems a day,
For there’s one and just one only
Understands when I say;

I’m comin’ Virginia,
I’m comin’ to stay;
Dont hold it agin me
For runnin’ away.

I’ve tried to forget you
But found I was wrong, all wrong;
‘Neath your bright southern moon
Once more I’ll croon
An old familiar tune.

And if I can win ya,
I’ll never more roam;
I’m comin’ Virginia,
My Dixieland home.

I’m comin’,
I’m comin’ Virginia,
My Dixieland home.
