| [00:07.41] | I was born in East Virginia, |
| [00:15.00] | North Caroline I did roam, |
| [00:22.79] | There I met a fair pretty maiden, |
| [00:29.71] | Her name and age I do not know. |
| [00:40.96] | Her hair it was of a brightsome color, |
| [00:48.94] | And her lips of a ruby red, |
| [00:56.15] | On her breast she wore white lilies, |
| [01:03.68] | There I longed to lay my head. |
| [01:14.50] | Well, in my heart you are my darlin', |
| [01:22.29] | At my door you're welcome in, |
| [01:29.62] | At my gate I'll meet you my darlin', |
| [01:37.01] | If your love I could only win. |
| [01:49.49] | I'd rather be in some dark holler, |
| [01:58.27] | Where the sun refuse to shine, |
| [02:05.37] | Then to see you be another man's darlin', |
| [02:12.57] | And to know that you'll never be mine. |
| [02:26.61] | Well in the night I'm dreamin' about you, |
| [02:33.92] | In the day I find no rest, |
| [02:40.90] | Just the thought of you my darlin', |
| [02:47.74] | Sends aching pains all through my breast. |
| [02:58.87] | Well when I'm dead and in my coffin, |
| [03:07.20] | With my feet turned toward the sun, |
| [03:14.37] | Come and sit beside me darlin', |
| [03:21.57] | Come and think on the way you done. |
