[00:07.41]I was born in East Virginia,
[00:15.00]North Caroline I did roam,
[00:22.79]There I met a fair pretty maiden,
[00:29.71]Her name and age I do not know.
[00:40.96]Her hair it was of a brightsome color,
[00:48.94]And her lips of a ruby red,
[00:56.15]On her breast she wore white lilies,
[01:03.68]There I longed to lay my head.
[01:14.50]Well, in my heart you are my darlin',
[01:22.29]At my door you're welcome in,
[01:29.62]At my gate I'll meet you my darlin',
[01:37.01]If your love I could only win.
[01:49.49]I'd rather be in some dark holler,
[01:58.27]Where the sun refuse to shine,
[02:05.37]Then to see you be another man's darlin',
[02:12.57]And to know that you'll never be mine.
[02:26.61]Well in the night I'm dreamin' about you,
[02:33.92]In the day I find no rest,
[02:40.90]Just the thought of you my darlin',
[02:47.74]Sends aching pains all through my breast.
[02:58.87]Well when I'm dead and in my coffin,
[03:07.20]With my feet turned toward the sun,
[03:14.37]Come and sit beside me darlin',
[03:21.57]Come and think on the way you done.
