Virginia won't get a new state song this year.
A House of Delegates committee today tabled a proposal to replace "Carry Me

"Virginia" was written by country singer and sausage king Jimmy Dean and his
wife Donna
Another bill approved by the Senate and sent to the House would make "Carry
Me Back" state song emeritus and direct a study committee to come up with a new
state song.
The current state song is rarely sung in public because of lyrics many
