I was born in east Virginia
North Carolina I did go
Where I spied a fair young maiden
And her name I did not know
I don't want greenback dollars
I don't want no silver chains
All I want is your love darlin'
Won't you take me back again
Last night I saw you walkin'
With another by yourside
And I thought I heard you tell him
That soon you'll be his bride
Her hair was dark in color
Her cheeks were rosy red
On her breast she wore white linen
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
When you promised you'd be mine
End on E
