Do do do do do |
|
Do do do do do |
|
Do do do do do. |
|
|
|
I was born in east Virginia |
|
North Carolina I did go |
|
There I loved a fair young maiden |
|
Whose age and name I did not know. |
|
|
|
Oh, her hair was dark and curly |
|
And her cheeks were rosey red |
|
On her breast she wore a liliy |
|
Where I longed to lay my head. |
|
|
|
I don't want those greenback dollars |
|
I don't want no golden chain |
|
In this world there is no treasure |
|
That can bring her back, again. |
|
|
|
Take me to that borrowed fortune |
|
And carve my name upon a stone |
|
Tell the world how much I love her |
|
And how I died for love alone. |
