It goes down easy, until you're dry

Then the water freezes

in a blink of an eye

And you go to the river, go to the stream

You say fill me up, I’ll do anything

 

Oh, Caledonia ain’t talking to me

And Shenandoah’s got secrets so deep

That I climb to the top of that blue mountain peak

I say fill me up, I’ll do anything

​

Oh, sweet Virginia

heal in my hands

Ain’t nothing between us

But the love of this man

The love of this man

​

Mother, my Mother won’t say a word

She just nods her head

and hopes that I heard

In old sylvan valleys, I’m lost in the woods

I say fill me up, I’m leaving for good
