Sonny wrote most of this one along the Appalachian Trail, on the path to MacAfee's Knob, one cold Winter day - looking down on beautiful Catawba Valley

The Virginia Waltz …Sonny Campbell 10/25/00


Welcome you ladies… seeking romance
Welcome you fellows… come join in the dance
Sway with excitement… sashay with delight
Dancing in lovely Virginia tonight

Come up from the valley…down from the hill
We’ll whirl in a polka…twirl a quadrille
Embracing the darkness …we’ll kiss the moonlight
Dancing in lovely Virginia tonight

Dancing the night away
Dancing ‘till the break of day
Spinning and swirling, ‘till dawn’s early light
Dancing in lovely Virginia tonight

Thank you for coming you ladies and gents
All have arrived, let the dancing commence
Grab you a partner, the music’s just right
For dancing in lovely Virginia tonight

Let’s roll out the barrel…sawdust the floor
Ask the musicians to play some more
Smiling and singing…with voices so bright
We’ll be dancing in lovely Virginia tonight

Dancing the night away
Dancing ‘till the break of day
Spinning and swirling ‘till dawn’s early light
Dancing in lovely Virginia tonight

Spinning and swirling ‘till dawn’s early light
Dancing the lovely Virginia Waltz tonight
