I was born in east Virginia
North Carolina I did roam
There I met a very pretty baby
Her name and age I do not know
Well in my heart you are my darling
At my door you're welcome in
At my gate I'll meet you my darling
If your love I could only win
Still in the night I'm dreaming about you
In the day I find no rest
Just the thought of you my darling
Sends aching pains all through my breast
Just the thought of you my darling
Sends aching pains all through my breast
