In The Valley Of The Shenandoah

As we sit alone tonight

In the stillness of the night

I picture happy scenes of long ago

Of a maiden fair and bright

Who is is sleeping there tonight

In the valley of the Shenandoah ridge

It was in the month of June

When the roses were in bloom

When I held her in my arms and softly said

Darling in the coming spring

I'll be coming back again

To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge

When I left her all alone

In our Shenandoah home

She promised she'd be waiting there for me

But the angels came along

And took her from our home

From the valley of the Shenandoah ridge

When the evening shadows fall

In memory I recall

A pledge when giving her a ring

Darling in the coming spring

I'll be coming back again

To the valley of the Shenandoah ridge
