Bill Monroe - Linda Lou lyrics

rate me

LINDA LOU

In the state of West Virginia among the peaceful rolling hills

I met a mountain maid with eyes of blue

Golden hair so soft and curly and her lips were like the dew

She was the queen of West Virginia and her hame was Linda Lou

Linda Lou, Linda Lou can't you hear me calling you

Calling like a lonesome dove my Linda Lou

When the moon is in the blue and the stars are shining too

Can't you hear my lonely heart calling for you Linda Lou

I recall the night I met her how I held her hand in mine

I recall the night we kissed and said adieu

Many miles may separate us if i should cross the ocean blue

My heart is still in West Virginia with my darlin' Linda Lou

* Refrain
