Don't Forget This Song

A.P. CARTER

My home's in Old Virginia
among the lovely hills
the memory of my birthplace
Lies in my bosom still

I did not like my fireside
I did not like my home
I have a mind for rambling
So far away from home

It was on one moonlight evening
the stars were shining bright
and with an ugly dagger
I let the spirit fly

Was then the sober struck me
as plain as you can see
I'm doomed I'm ruined forever
throughout eternity

I courted a fair young maiden
Her name I will not tell
Oh why, should I disgrace her
when I am doomed for Hell

But now up on my scaffold
My times not very long
You may forget the singer
but don't forget the song
