Oh, when I left old East Virginia |
| [00:32.674] |
North Carolina I did roam |
| [00:41.958] |
There I courted a fair young lady |
| [00:49.135] |
What was her name I did not know |
| [00:57.984] |
Her hair it was all a-dark brown curly |
| [01:05.792] |
Her cheeks they were a rosy red |
| [01:13.396] |
Upon her breast she wore a ribbon |
| [01:20.685] |
Oh, don't I wish that I was dead |
| [01:30.644] |
Her poppa said that we might marry |
| [01:38.347] |
Her momma said it would not do |
| [01:46.547] |
Oh, come here dear, and I will tell you |
| [01:53.939] |
I will tell you what I'll do: |
| [02:00.450] |
Some dark night we'll take a ramble |
| [02:08.260] |
I will run away with you |
| [02:19.420] |
For I'd rather be in some dark holler |
| [02:26.732] |
Where the sun refused to shine |
| [02:35.098] |
As for you to be some other man's woman |
| [02:43.517] |
Never on earth to call you mine |
