Sweet Virginia

Headin' south on the Macon trail

Kickin' dust inside some county jail

Her mama said "Hey Jackie you be good"

'Cause she knew that she would be misunderstood.

*chorus*

Oh Sweet Virginia

No, you never knew her name

She tried to win ya

But you never played the game

Her name was Jackie Brown

She cried when they told her

Old sweet Virginia town

You know it's not over

The jokers laughed and cried

"Hey Jackie, what's your game"

I got the time you got the money she explained

but time was one thing now that Jackie couldn't spend

So she made it while she could right to the end
