I was born in East Virginia North Carolina I did go There I met a fair, young maiden And her name, I did not know On her hair was dark and curly Cheeks were roses red Oh, her breast she wore my clear leaf Where I longer to lay my head I don't want your greenback dollar I don't want your watch and chain All I want is your heart, darling Say you'll take ma back again The oceans deep and I can't wade in And I have no wings to fly I'll escape, my blue-eyed, boat land Float or roll me over time I'll go back to East Virginia North Carolina ain't my home I'll go back to East Virginia Leave them north Carolina alone |
