Carry Me Back to Old Virginny |
Carry me back to old Virginny, |
There’s where the cotton and the corn and tatoes grow, |
There’s where the birds warble sweet in the springtime, |
There’s where the old darke’ys heart am long’d to go, |
There’s where I labored so hard for old massa, |
Day after day in the field of yellow corn, |
No place on earth do I love more sincerely |
Than old Virginny, the state where I was born. |
Carry me back to old Virginny, |
There’s where the cotton and the corn and tatoes grow, |
There’s where the birds warble sweet in the springtime, |
There’s where this old darkey’s heart am long’d to go. |
Carry me back to old Virginny, |
There let me live 'till I wither and decay, |
Long by the old Dismal Swamp have I wandered, |
There’s where this old darke’ys life will pass away. |
Massa and missis have long gone before me, |
Soon we will meet on that bright and golden shore, |
There we’ll be happy and free from all sorrow, |
There’s where we’ll meet and we’ll never part no more. |
