The One I Left Behind Lyrics

Intro - C G D G
Chorus: G C G
Buddy can we talk about Virginia
Talk about the Blue Rigde and the ol' lonesome pine
Tell me 'bout the Shenandoah Valley
And don't forget my true love the one I left behind
Verse: Em G
I used to make a decent living
Plowin' fields and raisin' cattle on that farm of mine
Now I'm stuck here in this mighty city
Sweepin' floors and cleanin' windows just to buy my wine
Break: Chorus Chords
Verse: I built a home and family in the coal fields
Diggin' black diamond from an island creek mine
But now I'm so alone here in this city
And I dream about my darlin' wife she always on my mind
Break: Verse Chords
