THE VIRGINIA CREEPER

All through Virginia he’s makin’ news
That smooth-talkin’ rambler who knows all the moves
He comes out of nowhere spreadin’ his charms
Leaves the ladies all smilin’ and the men up in arms

Chorus:
From Bristol to Richmond he sure covers some ground
Keep an eye on your woman ‘cause he’s crawlin’ around
You better hold her if you want to keep her
Or lose her to the Virginia Creeper

Up in the Blue Ridge he left his mark
But he covered his trail after breakin’ some hearts
In Roanoke he tangled them up in his lies
Then he slipped out of town without a single goodbye

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
After he loves her she’ll find out the truth
He’s too wild to tame and he don’t put down no roots

Repeat Chorus
