Lyrics I'm Coming Viginia - Ethel Waters, Ethel Waters, Will Marion Cook's Singing Orchestra, Will Marion Cook's Singing Orchestra

I'm Coming Viginia

I’m comin',
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;
'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.
