EAST VIRGINIA

I was born in East Virginia North Carolina I did go There I met a fair young lady And her name I do not know Oh, her hair was dark and curly And her cheeks were rosy red On her breast she wore white lilies Where I long to lay my head I don't want your greenback dollar I don't want your watch and chain All I want's your heart darling Say you'll take me back again The ocean's deep and I can't wade it And I have no wings to fly I'll just get me a blue eyed boatman Or you'll row me over the tide I'll go back to East Virginia North Carolina ain't my home I'll go back to East Virginia Leaving North Carolinians alone I'll go back to East Virginia North Carolina ain't my home I'll go back to East Virginia Leaving North Carolinians alone
