Lyrics
1. Jimmie Brown from New York Town
Went out on his vacation
He stopped off at a station
In old Virginia for recreation
He met a blue eyed maiden there
And shortly they were wed
But when he took her to Broadway
Why this is what she said
Chorus
Let’s go back, let’s go back
I’ve got the Virginia Blues
You can’t refuse to take me
Right back home with you
That’s the place, that’s the place
I’ll always choose
So, carry me back to old Virginia
Because I’ve got ’em
You bet I’ve got ’em
Yes, I’ve got the Virginia Blues
2. At Cabarets and swell Cafes
Their dinners he was buying
But she was always sighing
And late one evening he heard her crying
He quickly took her in his arms
And asked her to explain
To his surprise she answered him
By singing this refrain

Nicely sung, Laurence 🙂
Thanks James. I appreciate the encouragement! As usual, you produced a great piano MIDI…
There's another Virginia Blues by Fred Meinken
You’re right-published in 1922. Lots of songs with the same titles-apparently one can’t copyright a title.
