EAST VIRGINIA BLUES



1. 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


2. 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


3. 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


4. 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


5. I'll go back to East Virginia
   North Carolina ain't my home
   I'll go back to East Virginia
   Leaving North Carolinians alone
