East Virginia

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was born in east Virginia North Carolina I did roam And there I met a fair young maiden Her name and age I do not know, oh [Verse 2] Her hair was so dark and curly And her cheeks were rosy red On her breast she wore white lilies There I longed my head to rest, oh [Verse 3] I'd rather be in some dark holler Where the sun refused to shine Than to see you with another And to know you'll never be mine, oh
