[Intro]
Well, I've had a love affair with Virginia for a long time
For those of you who may have been at the mosque
I don't know, maybe a century ago, when I opened for Harry Newman one night
That was my first time here and I love the fact people really love music here in and around this state, Thank you
It makes my. life a lot easier
[Verse 1]
I want to go back, to the islands
Where the shrimp boats are tied up to the piling
Give me oysters and beer
For dinner every day of the year
And I'll feel fine, I'll feel fine
[Chorus]
Cause I want to be there
Go back down and lie beside the sea there
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
I'll be chewin' on a honeysuckle vine
[Verse 2]
Well the sun goes sliding across the water
Sail boats they go searching for the breeze
Salt air it ain't thin
It'll stick right to your skin, and make you feel fine
I made up my mind
[Chorus]
And, I wanna be there
I wanna go back down and and get high by the sea there
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
I'll be chewin' on a honeysuckle vine
[Verse 3]
Yes and now you heard my strange proposal
So why don't you get that Packard running and let's move
I wanna be there before the day
Tries to steal away and leave us behind
I've made up my mind
[Chorus]
And I wanna be there
I wanna go back down and die beside the sea there
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
I'll a chewin' on a honeysuckle vine
Till next time Virgina
Yeah with a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
I'll be chewin' on a honeysuckle vine
[Outro]
Thank you all, one love
