| [00:07.00] |
I was born in east Virginia |
| [00:15.00] |
North Carolina I did roam |
| [00:22.00] |
There I met a fair pretty maiden |
| [00:30.00] |
Her name and age I do not know |
| [00:41.00] |
Her hair it was of a brightsome color |
| [00:49.00] |
And her lips of a ruby red |
| [00:57.00] |
On her breast she wore white lilies |
| [01:04.00] |
There I longed to lay my head |
| [01:15.00] |
Well in my heart you are my darling |
| [01:24.00] |
at my door you're welcome in |
| [01:31.00] |
At my gate I'll meet you my darling |
| [01:38.00] |
If your love I could only win |
| [01:51.00] |
I'd rather be in some dark holler |
| [02:00.00] |
Where the sun refused to shine |
| [02:07.00] |
Than to see you be another man's darling |
| [02:15.00] |
And to know that you'll never be mine |
| [02:29.00] |
Well in the night I'm dreaming about you |
| [02:37.00] |
In the day I find no rest |
| [02:44.00] |
Just the thought of you my darling |
| [02:50.00] |
Sends aching pains all through my breast |
| [03:02.00] |
Well when I'm dead and in my coffin |
| [03:10.00] |
With my feet turned toward the sun |
| [03:18.00] |
Come and sit beside me darling |
| [03:25.00] |
Come and think on the way you done |
