It was in sweet Senegal |
|
That my foes did me enthral |
|
For the lands of Virginia o |
|
Torn from that lovely shore |
|
And must never see it more |
|
And alas I am weary weary o |
|
All on that charming coast |
|
Is no bitter snow or frost |
|
Like the lands of Virginia o |
|
There streams forever flow |
|
And the flowers forever grow |
|
And alas I am weary weary o |
|
This burden I must bear |
|
While the cruel scourge i fear |
|
In the lands of Virginia o |
|
And I think on friends most dear |
|
With a bitter bitter tear |
|
And alas I am weary weary o |
|
It was in sweet senegal |
|
That my foes did me enthral |
|
For the lands of Virginia o |
|
Torn from that lovely shore |
|
And must never see it more |
|
And alas I am weary weary o |
