Have you ever been to Richmond in November?
When the cold Virginia rain is coming down
Friend I'm here to tell you it's no pleasure
If you're all alone and a stranger to the town
Don't take me wrong, I do like east Virginia
And Richmond's full of hospitality
Except for one Virginia girl I know of
That made a perfect love wreck out of me
Blue Virginia blues
There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blues
There's no girls in the whole wide world
That'll break your heart like Virginia girls
There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blues
She called me up in Saint Paul, Minnesota
Said "I need you here in Richmond, right away"
"Take the bus and I'll meet you at the station"
"Bring some clothes I might want you to stay"
My bus pulled in the station late this evening
There ain't a soul around this place but me
She must have changed her mind or she's forgotten
And her name ain't in the phone directory
Blue Virginia blues
There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blues
There's no girls in the whole wide world
That'll break your heart like Virginia girls
There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blues
I wish I had the money for a taxi
Or a warm and cozy place to lay me down
Instead of standing all alone in Richmond
While the cold Virginia rain is coming down
Blue Virginia blues
There ain't no blue like blue Virginia blues
There's no girls in the whole wide world
Could break your heart like Virginia girls
Oh there ain't no blue like blue Virginia blues
