Zach Top - Blue Virginia Blues (Cover)

Larry Sparks' "Blue Virginia Blues" performed by Zach Top.
Lyrics:
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
Written by Pete Goble

[@Deerslayer525]

I love his goofy self. Reminds me of my brother getting into it when he’s picking lol

[@midgeberg22]

You are going to go far! You are real country which people miss!

[@flatpicker9]

To be honest, I've heard seven versions of this song. BUT, yours is the best. I love those straight lines in vocals, break with mandoline tremmollo, that guitar fade outs and thunder incomings. Wish I could shake your hand for this. From this moment it's my favourite song, because of you. Thank U Zach

[@denniscollin6898]

I got to spend the day with Larry Sparks. He's a butt hole 😂 First he made his elderly bus driver go on and take up most of the stage time my buddy paid him for, he sang two songs and when you talked to him he was like I'm the Larry Sparks your very lucky I'm gracing you with my presence... But lonesome river band were the nicest guys ever and Brandon was even sick that day. Still awesome lol. Oh and Russell Moore from IIIrd Tyme Out was a very nice man also.

What kind of axe are you playing? It sounds great!

[@chriskozub8012]

It’s an acoustic guitar

[@banjobones8075]

@@chriskozub8012 really? Ray Charles could have seen that.

[@folksurvival]

​@@banjobones8075 Exactly, so obviously not an "axe" (slang for an electric guitar).

[@scotimotti]

Better than Larry!

[@macallisterarmstrong]

disrespectful lol

[@denniscollin6898]

Not when Larry was as young as this fella. But still, a very good solo acoustic version! Playing covers is the ultimate compliment. Means it touched someone, somehow.

[@rickmeadows686]

Guitar sounds like a cheap China model.
