This song was selected for the 2013 Greetings from
Area Code 207 compilation CD, coordinated by Charlie Gaylord and WBLM. Thanks so much Charlie!

lyrics

I'm coming from Virginia
With an aching in my head
Fear inside my belly and I'm thinking about my bed
Thinking about my bed
You know the daylight's breaking
And my eyes can hardly see
And the river is unending
Out in front of me

Chorus
I'll say goodbye to you
Say goodbye now my baby
What am I gonna do
Whoa now my love
Now that I'm making my way down

Oh my sweet Maria
Won't you lay your hands on me
I want to tell you a story
About your company
Because I'm coming from Virginia
With an aching in my heart
And a fear inside my belly
That's tearing me apart
Tearing me apart

I'll say goodbye to you
Say goodbye now my baby
What am I gonna do
Whoa now my love
Now that I'm taking my way down
Past the rails and shanty towns
Where the losses all come down
Down the line
Down the line
