The Northern Neck’s a strip of land that leads down to the Bay.
Once you taste the lifestyle, it makes you want to stay.

Visitors learn the Northern Neck helps them to unwind.
There’s nothing like the country to ease your troubled mind.

When we pass another car, we always wave hello.
Down here we don’t drive 80--our pace to you seems slow.

Wild turkeys often cross the road right in front of you!
Wildlife has the right-of-way. Relax, enjoy the view.

Watch a flock of seagulls circling in the sky,
Hear the noisy crickets chirp as you drive by,

See the “Blessing of the Fleet” in Reedville by the Bay,
Watch the sun’s reflection at the closing of the day,

Take a tour of Stratford, boyhood home of Robert E. Lee,
Visit museums and antique shops, there’s lots for you to see.

Dine beside the water on crab cakes or oyster stew.
The moonlight on the river is beautiful to view.

People here are friendly and they greet you with a smile.
Come down to the Northern Neck, relax in country style.
