Well I come from the valley I'm a rebel boy.
Born on the banks of the Shenandoah.
In '61 I went to the war
To win one for Virginia!
Ya my brother went first and they called me to.
I was green as clover in the morning dew.
So I marched to the drum and I sang to the tune.
Carry me back to Virginia!
Fire in the cannon water in the well
Raced through the valley with a rebel yell.
I learned right quick how to march like hell and affix that bayonet.
Wont ya carry me back?
Wont ya carry me back?
Carry me back to Virginia.
