Intro: 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.
