East Virginia Blues
 Traditional
 I was born in East Virginia
 North Carolina I did go
 There I met a fair young maiden
 Name and age I did not know
 Oh her hair was dark and curly
 And her cheeks were rosy red
 On her breast she wore a lilly
 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
 In my heart you are my darlin'
 At my door you're welcome in
 At my gate I'll always greet you
 For you're the one I tried to win
 I'd rather be in some dark holler
 Where the sun refused to shine
 Than to see you with another
 And to know you won't be mine.
