East Virginia Blues |
| I was born in East Virginia |
| North Carolina I did go |
| There I courted a fair young maiden |
| But her age I did not know |
| Oh her hair was dark and curly |
| And her cheeks were rosy red |
| On her breast she wore a lily |
| Where I longed to lay my head |
| I don’t want your green back dollar |
| I don’t want your watch and chain |
| All I want is you my darling |
| Say you’ll take me back again |
| The ocean’s deep and I can’t wade it |
| And I have no wings to fly |
| I’ll just get some blue-eyed boatman |
| For to row me o’er the tide |
| I’ll go back to East Virginia |
| North Carolina ain’t my home |
| I’ll go back to East Virginia |
| Leave old North Carolina alone |
| I’ll go back to East Virginia |
| North Carolina ain’t my home |
| I’ll go back to East Virginia |
| Leave old North Carolina alone |
