Oldies/1970s tune

Question
Help! I have been searching for YEARS for the name and artist of a tune I heard in the early 1970s(71-72). What I remember of the lyrics are:
Virginia, be strong,
cause I won't be long,
Virginia, hold on.
I left one morning
in the pouring rain
and from the train I watched you disappear.....
I have searched oldies lists, one-hit-wonder lists and called oldies radio stations. All to no avail.
Any information you can give would be most appreciated.
Thanks again,
David
Hi David,
Thanks for your attention, and please, Aceept my apologies for the delay in getting back to you, but my operation system was at fault for the last 4 days.
Unfortunately, I can`t recall any song with those lyrics, it`s a very hard-to-find item, indeed.
If you need anything else, please feel free to get in touch,
my regards,
Amarilis Gibeli - "Searchin` around..."

Expertise
I actively search out want lists of rare, hard-to-find & out-of- print Lps & CDs, antiques and collectibles items, books, lyrics, sheet music and any other audio/visual media & format as well, for individuals, traders, retail outlets and online auctions. My specialty is 60`s (psych & garage rock, doo-wop, girls groups, etc.) & 70`s (hard, punk, progressive, etc.), although I have acquired a large range of knowledge on any other style & period as well. As a researcher in musical subjects, I have received requests to write programme notes for modern & classical music, history of music, forms, contemporary music life, bibliographic references, among other topics.
