When the cold Virginia rain is coming down

Friend I'm here to tell you it's no pleasure

If you’re all alone and a stranger to the town

Don't take me wrong I do like east Virginia

And Richmond's full of hospitality

Except for one Virginia girl I know of

That made a perfect love wreck out of me

Chorus:

Blue, blue Virginia blues

There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blues

There's no girls in the whole wide world

Could break your heart like Virginia girls

There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blues

She called me up in St. Paul Minnesota

Said I need you here in Richmond right away

Take the bus and I'll meet you at the station

Bring some clothes I might want you to stay

My bus pulled in the station late this evening

There ain't a soul around this place but me

She must have changed her mind or she's forgotten

And her name ain't in the phone directory

Chorus:

Blue, blue Virginia Blues…

I wish I had the money for a taxi

Or a warm and cozy place to lay me down

Instead of standing all alone in Richmond

While the cold Virginia rain is coming down

Chorus:

Blue, blue Virginia Blues…
