Frank Sinatra - I Went Down to Virginia lyrics

I went down to Virginia and
No one sent for me
I went down to Virginia to
See what I could see
Well I found the horses that some
Of the gals took bets
The spirit's of the states
Are guaranteed high sets
So I stayed down in Virginia 'cause
That looked good to me
I went down to Virginia and
I didn't know a soul
No wonder folks befriend ya
Their hearts are made of pure gold
While the civic minded citizens
Are all so kind they feed you with you hook
A fish on every line
So I stayed down in Virginia
That's how much I've been sold
So bless the day that brought me here
And bless the folks I love so dear
Well, brother
If you ever plan a'coming this way
You find the things that's just
Exactly like I say
I stayed down in Virginia, Virginia USA

Yes, I went down to Virginia
I went by my request
No one needs recommend ya
'cause you are a welcome guest
Well, I never thought I'd find a
Place where I could be
Just happy as a jaybird in a cherry tree
So I stayed down in Virginia
'cause that's the very best
So bless the day that brought me here
And bless the folks I love so dear
Why, I plumb forgot to mention
'bout the biggest deal
My gal is named Virginia
That's Virginia real so I stayed down in
Virginia, Virginia, Virginia, uSA
