I'm Gonna Make Hay While the Sun Shines in Virginia

I'm Gonna Make Hay While the Sun Shines in Virginia - Marion Harris

City people pity people

Living on the farm

I'm going home today

Way down Virginia way

You know my dad's a farmer

So is mamma

They live in a shack

If you think I'm grieving

Because I'm leaving

Try and hold me back

I'm gonna make hay

While the sun shines in Virginia

The old folks need a lot of sunshine now

I'm gonna be a farmer in Virginia

I'll plant a kiss on mother's wrinkled brow

How I love her

I'm gonna raise the mortgage

From the homestead

I'll w**d out all their sorrows and their tears

I'm gonna make hay

While the sun shines in Virginia

I'm brighten up their few remaining years

How do you do there

How are you there

That's Virginia way

When they shake hands with you

Their hearts go with it too

You know that I've been Roman

Now I'm going back to Masonfy

If the train don't show up

I will show up

Home tomorrow night

I'm gonna make hay

While the sun shines in Virginia

The old folks need a lot of sunshine now

I'm gonna be a farmer in Virginia

I'll plant a kiss on mother's wrinkled brow

Oh how I love her

I'm gonna raise the mortgage

From the homestead

I'll w**d out all their sorrows and their tears

I'm gonna make hay

While the sun shines in Virginia

I'm brighten up their few remaining years
