I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina I did roam
There I met a fair, pretty maiden
Her name and age I do not know
ย
Her hair, it was of a brightsome color
And her lips of ruby red
On her breast she wore withe lilies
There I long to lay my head
ย
Well, in my heart you are, my darlin'
At my door you're welcome in
At my gate I'll meet you, my darlin'
If your love I could only win
ย
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun refuse to shine
Than to see you be another man's darlin'
And to know that you'll never be mine
ย
Well, in the night I'm dreamin' about you
In the day I find no rest
Just the thought of you, my darlin'
Sends aching pains all through my breast
ย
Well, when I'm dead and in my coffin
With my feet turned toward the sun
Come and sit beside me, darlin'
Come and think on way you done
ย
