Lyrics

I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina I did go
There i met a fair young maiden
Who's name I did not know

Her hair was dark in color
and her lips were ruby red
on her breast she wore white linen
there I longed to lay my head

I don't want no greenback dollar
I don't want no watch and chain
All I want is you my darlin'
Won't you take me back again?

Cause I'd rather be in some dark holler
where the sun don't ever shine
than to see you with another
never to be mine

I'll go back to East Virginia
North Carolina's not my home
I'll go back to East Virginia
and leave those North Carolinians alone
