Letra de
Sweet Virginia

Sweet Virginia es una canción de los Rolling Stones que aparece en su álbum de 1972 Exile on Main St. Fue grabada entre julio de 1971 y marzo de 1972. La canción transmite una vibra country y fue parcialmente inspirada por las experiencias de la banda durante su autoimpuesto exilio fiscal en Francia. La letra sugiere un tema de redención y superación, con referencias a dejar atrás el uso de drogas.

Wading through the waste stormy winter
and there's not a friend to help you through
Trying to stop the waves behind your eyeballs
Drop your reds drop your greens an' blues

Thank you for your wine California
Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits
Yes I got the desert in my toenail
And I hid the speed inside my shoes

Come on, come on down, Sweet Virginia
Come on, honey child I beg of you
Come on, come on down, you got it in you
Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes


Come on, come on down, Sweet Virginia
Come on, honey child I beg of you
Come on, honey child, you got it in you
Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes

Come on, come on down, Sweet Virginia
Come on, come on down, I beg of you
Come on, come on down, you got it in you
Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes
