East Virginia
I was born in east Virginia
North Carolina I did go
There I met a fair young maiden
Her name and age I do not know
Her hair it was of a light brown color
And her lips of a ruby red
On her breast she wore white lilies
Where I longed to lay my head
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun refused to shine
Than to see you with another
And to know that you'd never be mine
Well in the night I'm dreAmg about you
In the day I find no rest
Just the thought of you my darling
Sends aching pains all through my breast
Well when I'm dead and in my coffin
With my feet turned toward the sun
Come and sit beside me darling
Come and think of the way you done
