Skaggs, Ricky - White Dove Lyrics






In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
There's a place that I love so well
Where I spent many days of my childhood
In the cabin where we loved to dwell.

White dove will mourn in sorrow
The willows will hang their heads
I'll live my life in sorrow
Since mother and daddy are dead.

We were all so happy there together
In our peaceful little mountain home
But the Savior needs angels up in heaven
Now they sing around the great white throne.

As the years roll by I often wonder
If we will all be together someday
And each night as I wander through the graveyard
Darkness finds me as I kneel to pray...

    Not just Ricky, but his wife and in-laws, the Whites, singing backup@

  27. P.... J....

    I'm applauding. Awesome.

  28. s.... ....

    Absolutely beautiful! I could never get tired of listening to Ricky sing and play. Before retiring as a full time guitarist and singer, I performed many of Ricky's song during their prime. Had the privilege of meeting him and his band during his top 40 country hit days. A big influence on my country guitar picking!

  29. W.... W....

    I have only been to two concerts in my life, once was to see Ricky Skaggs. That was over 30 yrs ago. Back then his hair was shorter and a different color. Ferlin Husky would be proud. This is one of those songs that give praise to God and is a blessing to hear. Ricky did good.

  30. C.... D....

    Love that song and love Ricky Skaggs and The Whites!

  31. D.... G....

    Great song ! Grew up with this song

  32. A.... ....

    Grew up on this music in Ink, Arkansas! Love it so much! In a little Baptist church! Great memories!

    A.... ....

    You should have heard Ricky being interviewed by Teri Gross. She had never heard of a "foot-washing Baptist." His explanation to her, a Jewish lady, was one of the finest expressions of faith I have ever heard.

  33. A.... ....

    Verlin Huskey would be proud! This is amazing. Thank you!

    A.... ....

    Ferlin Husky - one of my childhood singers.

  34. J.... R....

    There is Ricky as a picker and player then there are all the others . Ricky is in my opinion one of the finest musicians of all time .

  35. T.... S....

    Tell us about the love of Jesus

  36. A.... J....

    Get a lot of peace listening too that nice song.

  41. c.... ....

    He's turning into Billy Connolly, but there's no disguising his voice. Or Billy's.

  42. B.... B....

    I wasn't, but I sure enjoy the message and Ricky singing it. I saw Ricky in 1985 in Lexington Ky., at a Flaherty's no less! He put on a great show with many blue grass classics. It was very early in his career.
