[00:23.820]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
