Biography:
The Stanley Brothers (Carter Stanley, 1925-1966, and Ralph Stanley, 1927-2016) were an American bluegrass duo originally hailing from Dickenson County, Virginia. The family soon moved to McClure, Virginia, where their parents worked a small farm in the Clinch Mountains. Music was a part of their lives from the word go, as they were able to listen to the likes of The Monroe Brothers, Mainer's Mountaineers, and other artists featured on the Grand Ole Opry radio program.

White Dove (Stanley Bros.) written by Carter Stanley
Valley Park, Mo 080408
Banjo tuned E, No Capo Key of D
VG note: Live at McClure's Album also has this song in Key of E
D G D
In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
G A
There's a place that I love so well
D G D
Where I spent many days of my childhood
A7 D
In the cabin where we loved to dwell
G D
White dove will mourn in sorrow
G A
The willows will hang their heads
G D
I'll live my life in sorrow
A7 D
Since mother and daddy are dead
G D
We were all so happy there together
G A
In our peaceful little mountain home
A7 D
But the Savior needs angels up in heaven
A D
Now they sing around the great white throne
G D
As the years roll by I often wonder
G A
If we will all be together someday
G D
And each night as I wander through the graveyard
A7 D
Darkness finds me as I kneel to pray
