"Follow You To Virgie" - Tyler Childers Cover - HIVE Open Mic 172
Howdy Folks
This is my video for HIVE Open Mic 172 , the theme of Family inspired me to take a shot at this song by Tyler Childers called "Follow You To Virgie"
The song was written by Tyler for his friend Cody when his grandmother past away.
When thier group of friends were all high school aged and learning to play guitars and banjos Cody's grandmother would sit
and listen to them and sing along.
I guess at some point Cody moved from Kentucky to Virginia and when the Grandmother passed away Tyler went to visit his friend
and attend the funeral. Thats the theme of this song.
"Follow You To Virgie"
Tyler Childers
Back before these calloused hands and all this work
We used to sit up at the flats
Acting like we'd live forever
Getting high and skipping class
Yeah, I reckon we were heathens
But in her eyes, we were saints
Now you're calling all the boys home
'Cause heaven's angels carried her away
So, I will follow you to Virgie
Although it hurts me so
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
That the Lord's called home
And I can't see her up in glory
I can see her through the pines
Back when all us boys were tryin'
To make sense of all these strings
I can see her in the corner
Singing along to all our crazy dreams
So, I will follow you to Virgie
Although it hurts me so
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
That the Lord's called home
And I can see her up in glory
I can see her through the pines
So, I will follow you to Virgie
Although it hurts me so
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
That the Lord's called home
And I can see her up in glory
I can see her through the pines
