Ain't nothin' so precious
as a first born child
What to call their little angel
They wondered for awhile
Your dear mama Violet
And your proud daddy Dale
I know when they named ya
They surely meant well
Vidalia Vidalia
Girl won't you tell me why
Sweet Vadalia
you always gotta make me cry
I never paid no attention
to a girl before
Till the day I saw you standin'
in the Sunday school door
One boy sorta snickered
when the roll was read
Till you laid the word of God
upside of his head
Vidalia Vidalia
Girl won't you tell me why
Sweet Vadalia
you always gotta make me cry
When I try to get too close
Seems like we've always
been almost
just one step or two away
from true love
Well I love the way you walk
I love the way you kiss
I love to get away
with you alone like this
If I could mention
Just one little thing
Vidalia would ya stop
livin' up to your name
Vidalia Vidalia
Girl won't you tell me why
Sweet Vadalia
you always gotta make me cry
Vidalia
Girl won't you tell me why
Sweet Vadalia
you always gotta make me cry
You always gotta make me cry
You always gotta make me cry
You always gotta make me cry
