Release Date

Jimmy MillerWrited by
Mick Jagger & Keith RichardsAbout
“Sweet Virginia”, is a sweetly clamoring acoustic number reflects both the country music influence Gram Parson imparted upon Keith at the time and the drug-induced atmosphere at Nellcôte during the recording of Exile.
Jagger’s harmonica and Mick Taylor’s masterful acoustic guitar work flow innocent...
Sweet Virginia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wading through the waste, stormy winter
And there's not a friend to help you through
Trying to stop the waves behind your eyeballs
Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues
Thank you for your wine, California
Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits
Yes I've got the desert in my toenail
And I hid the speed inside my shoe
[Chorus]
But come on, come on down, Sweet Virginia
Come on, honey child, I beg of you
Come on, come on down, you've got it in ya
Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes
[Saxophone Solo]
I want you to come on and sing it with me one time...
All right
[Chorus]
Yes, I want you to come on, come on down, Sweet Virginia
I said I want you to come on, honey child, I beg of you
I, I want you come on, honey child you've got it in you, uh huh
Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes
One more time
Hey
[Chorus]
But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia
Come on, come on down, I beg of you
Come on, come on down, you've got it in ya, uh huh
Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes
