[Verse 1]
Hey honey, won't you sit down and stop here for a spell?
Singin' sweet, low lullabies to forget about your health
Don't think about tomorrow, it's a cold night's sleep away
Sure would be pleased to have you stay

[Chorus]
And it's reach out, old Virginia, won't you rock him close to you?
The poor boy's had a hotel so long, he don't know what to do
It's time to come on home and put your feet up for a while
So much travelin' 'round tends to take away your smile

[Verse 2]
'Pears to me it's all a body can do to stay in tune
And you've been strainin' at those strings from mornin' 'til noon
So come on down and hang around, it'll put you right real soon
'Cause nothing's changed, it's all the same

[Chorus]
Reach out, old Virginia, won't you rock him close to you?
The poor boy's had a hotel so long, he don't know what to do
It's time to come on home and put your feet up for a while
So much travelin' 'round can take away your smile

[Chorus]
Reach out, old Virginia, won't you rock him close to you?
The poor boy's had a hotel so long, he don't know what to do
It's time to come on home and put your feet up for a while
So much travelin' 'round can take away your smile
