Linda Lou Lyrics - Bill Monroe

In the state of West Virginia among the peaceful rolling hills 

There I met a mountain maid with eyes of blue 

Golden hair so soft and curly and her lips were like the dew 

She was the queen of West Virginia and her name was Linda Lou 

Linda Lou, my Linda Lou, can't you hear me calling you 

Calling like a lonesome dove, my Linda Lou 

When the moon is in the blue and the stars are shining too 

Can't you hear my lonely heart calling for you, Linda Lou? 

I recall the night I met her, how I held her hand in mine 

I recall the night we kissed and said adieu 

Many miles may separate us, if I should cross the ocean blue 

My heart is still in West Virginia with my darling Linda Lou 

Linda Lou, my Linda Lou, can't you hear me calling you 

Calling like a lonesome dove, my Linda Lou 

When the moon is in the blue and the stars are shining too 

Can't you hear my lonely heart calling for you, Linda Lou?
