Hey, hey, hey Virginia waterways Potomac, Rappahanock, York and James Hey, hey, hey Virginia Waterways Atlantic Ocean, Chesapeake Bay The Potomac is the river in the north Flowing down to Washington DC Rappahanock’s next, goin through Fredericksburg Empties out into the Chesapeake The York’s the next one down, down toYorktown History made that town a famous name And the river in the south that flows through Richmond and Jamestown They named that river after their King James! Chorus These rivers all empty into the Chesapeake A bay they used for harbor to keep safe They traveled on the water and found their food there Cruisin on the Chesapeake Bay! The Chesapeake leads to the Atlantic Where people traveled here from near and far They had to use these waterways to get around now Until they invented planes and trains and cars! Chorus Let’s sail up one of Virginia’s rivers Find some places to settle and explore Until we reach that place called the Fall Line (STOP!) We’re walkin’ now, we can’t sail no more! Standin out here on this peninsula Stranded out on the Eastern Shore Water to the left and right and in front of me Between the ocean and the bay (let’s sing some more!) Chorus
