East Virginia Blues-The Carter Family

[00:22.84]I was born in East Virginny [00:27.61]North Carolina I did go [00:32.49]There I spied a fair young lady [00:37.59]And her age I do not know [00:42.16] [01:03.37]Her hair was dark in color [01:07.81]Her cheeks were rosy red [01:13.40]Upon her breast she wore white lilies [01:18.12]Where I longed to lay my head [01:25.03] [01:43.12]Oh, at my heart you are my darlin' [01:47.58]At my door you're welcome in [01:53.05]At my gate I'll always meet you [01:57.68]For you're the girl I've tried to win [02:04.74] [02:22.59]I'd rather be in some dark holler [02:27.49]Where the sun refuse to shine [02:32.33]Than for you to be another man's darlin' [02:37.66]And to know you'll never be mine [02:41.07]
