She moves trough the crowd like a swan
E                        A                    E
Laughing with one, kiss another, then she's gone
                                    A    
But backstage at the ballet it's a bore
  E                        A                  
I cannot give the ladies anymore

Chorus:
      D                             A
Oh Virginia, I miss the blue ridge mountains
      D                             A
Oh Virginia, I miss the Shenandoah valley
      D                              A
Oh Virginia, I miss your change of seasons
                         E                           A
And I miss some good ol' friends who are livin' back home

Sshe stand polite while I am gloriously rude
Just the other night I had my elbows in my food
She say that I must sparkle more
But backstage at the ballet it’s a bore

Chorus + solo 

Her skin's so white and her forehead so high 
I could not kiss my ballerina goodbye
I pinned a note upon her door
Said backstage at the ballet it's a bore
