oh virginia

she moves trough the crowd like a swan
laughing with one, kiss another, then she's gone
but backstage at the ballet it's a bore
I can't give the ladies anymore

oh virginia, i miss the blue ridge mountains
oh virginia, i miss the shenandoah valley
oh virginia, i miss your change of seasons
and i miss some good ol' friends who are livin' back home

she stand polite while i am gloriusly rude
just the other night i had my elbows in my food
she say that i must sparkle more
but backstage at the balletit's a bore

oh virginia, i miss the blue ridge mountains
oh virginia, i miss the shenandoah valley
oh virginia, i miss your change of seasons
and i miss some good ol' friends who are livin' back home


solo (mick taylor)

her skin's so white and her forehead so high
i could not kiss my ballerina goodbye
i pinned a note upon her door
said backstage at the ballet it's a bore

oh virginia, i miss the blue ridge mountains
oh virginia, i miss the shenandoah valley
oh virginia, i miss your change of seasons
and i miss some good ol' friends who are livin' back home

oh virginia, i miss the blue ridge mountains
oh virginia, i miss the shenandoah valley
oh virginia, i miss your change of seasons
and i miss some good ol' friends who are livin' back home


yes i do
well i miss some good ol' friends who're livin' back home
hey don't you
don't you miss some good ol' friends who're livin' back home

nice Can you please put up more songs

[detectivechristopher]

His voice is so lovely. He had incredibly high vocal ranges/

[cracks21229]

Let me put it this way, Mick Taylor contributed to songs and should have received credit, but I venture to say that "Sway" and any others that Taylor had input on would not have been what they were without Jagger or Richards, or both.

[ramblingblues]

@cracks21229

If 'Time waits for no one' is Jagger-Richards through and through I'll eat my hat. Is Mick Taylor a great song writer? I don't think so, but that doesn't deny the fact that, as Ry Cooder found out, the Glimmer Twins had a pretty reptilian approach.

[JimmyFranceable]

Sweet. Thanks boys.

[pbuotte]

Tasty cut, almost sounds like the Band...

[mecormany]

Richards isn't on Sway, Moonlight Mile and about 10 other songs from the Taylor era but it's a myth they ripped him off? Sorry, not a myth, just the Glimmers in action. He's written a number of fine sons through years, but doesn't have the same kind of publicity machine behind him and he's not exactly cool about being a 'star'.

He'd have stayed with the Corporate Band he was in if that's all he cared about. So explain how Sway is KRMJ through and through when he's not even on it.

[cracks21229]

1. This is stretching to capture the spirit of Exile on Main Street. Can't be done. The great thing about Exile was that it captured all this vibe without spelling it out like this song does.

2. If Mick Taylor were so such a great songwriter than why hasn't he come up with anything since the Stones "ripped" him off on Sway? The fact is that that is a myth. He may have contributed to some songs, but they are Jagger-Richards through and through.

@videoshark69 i know.what an asshole.thanx for ur response.

[socrates1818]

What a fuckin guitar solo! The one and only tasteful Mick Taylor - the Stones sold their soul when they ripped him off credits for Sway, etc

[videoshark69]

Lastardriver hope your family pig raped you in the tonsils continuing on for days. Then you had to go sell time shares.. If so, there is a god.
