Lyrics
I was born in east virginia
North carolina I did roam
There I met a fair young lady
Her name I do not know
Oh her hair was dark and curly
And her cheeks were rosy red
On her breast she wore white lilies
There I long to lay my head
I dont want your greenback dollar
I dont want your watch and chain
All I want's your heart darling
Say you'll take me back again
The ocean's deep and I can't wade it
And I have no wings to fly
I'll just get me a blue eyed boatman
Or you'll row me over the tide
I'll go back to east virginia
North carolina ain't my home
I'll go back to east virginia
Leaving north carolinians alone
I'll go back to east virginia
North carolina ain't my home
I'll go back to east virginia
Leaving north carolinians alone
In case I missed anything here is the full song
I was born in east virginia
North carolina I did go
There I met a fair young lady
And her name I do not know
Oh, her hair was dark and curly
And her cheeks were rosy red
On her breast she wore white lilies
Where I long to lay my head
I don't want your greenback dollar
I don't want your watch and chain
All I want's your heart darling
Say you'll take me back again
The ocean's deep and I can't wade it
And I have no wings to fly
I'll just get me a blue eyed boatman
Or you'll row me over the tide
I'll go back to east virginia
North carolina ain't my home
I'll go back to east virginia
Leaving north carolinians alone
I'll go back to east virginia
North carolina ain't my home
I'll go back to east virginia
Leaving north carolinians alone
