Let 'Em Know I'm From Virginia

Went up north to the city
 Lived up here most all my life
 I will make one last request, dear
 Now in this city I will die
 Let 'em know I'm from Virginia
 By the way, you mark my grave
 When I die, please promise me, love
 That you'll place some mountain laurel dogwood flowers on my grave
 When my life down here is over
 And my race on Earth is done
 When my friends gather around me
 Let 'em know what state I'm from
 Let 'em know I'm from Virginia
 By the way, you mark my grave
 When I die, please promise me, love
 That you'll place some mountain laurel dogwood flowers on my grave
 Bury me up in the mountains
 Way back in the hills
 Where I can see the flowers bloomin'
 And I can hear the whippoorwill
 Let 'em know I'm from Virginia
 By the way, you mark my grave
 When I die, please promise me, love
 That you'll place some mountain laurel dogwood flowers on my grave
 Let 'em know I'm from Virginia
 By the way, you mark my grave
 When I die, please promise me, love
 That you'll place some mountain laurel dogwood flowers on my grave
 Now, when I die, please promise me, love
 That you'll place some mountain laurel dogwood flowers on my grave
