I'm Coming Virginia - Original - Ethel Waters

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.
