East Virginia
Traditional
[Verse 1]
I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina is my home
There I met a handsome young fellow
But his name I did not know
[Verse 2]
I don't want your green bag dollar
I don't want your silver chain
All I want is your love, darlin'
Won't you take me
Won't you take me back again
[Verse 3]
I'd rather live in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Then to see you with another girl, darling
When I know
When I know you should be mine
[Verse 4]
I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina is my home
There I met a handsome young fellow
But his name I did not know
