Lyrics

I was born in old East Virginia
 North Carolina I did roam
 'Twas there I met me a fair, pretty maiden
 What was her age I did not know
 Her hair it was of a dark brown curly
 And her lips a rosy red
 On her breast she wore a ribbon
 Oh, the tears that I have shed
 Her papa said that we might marry
 Her mama said it would not do
 Some dark night if you'll take a ramble
 I will run away with you
 For I'd rather be in some dark holler
 Where the sun refuse to shine
 As for you to be another man's woman
 Never on earth to call you mine
