verse 1 I was born in East Virginia, North Carolina I did roam. There I met a fair pretty maiden; Her name and age I do not know. verse 2 Her hair it was of a brightsome color And her lips of ruby red. On her breast she wore white lilies; There I longed to lay my head. verse 3 Well, in my heart you are my darlin', At my door you are welcome in. At my gate I'll meet you, my darlin'; If your love I could only win. verse 4 I'd rather be in some dark holler Where the sun refused to shine Than to see you be another man's darlin And to know that you'll never be mine. Verse 5 Well, in the night I'm dreaming about you, In the day I find no rest. Just the thought of you, my darlin', Sends aching pains all through my breast. Verse 6 Well, when I'm dead and in my coffin With my feet turned toward the sun Come and sit beside me, darlin', Come and think on the way you done.
