East Virginia Blues Lyrics
I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina I did go
There I met a fair, young maiden
And her name, I did not know
On her hair was dark and curly
Cheeks were roses red
Oh, her breast she wore my clear leaf
Where I longer to lay my head
I don't want your greenback dollar
I don't want your watch and chain
All I want is your heart, darling
Say you'll take ma back again
The oceans deep and I can't wade in
And I have no wings to fly
I'll escape, my blue-eyed, boat land
Float or roll me over time
I'll go back to East Virginia
North Carolina ain't my home
I'll go back to East Virginia
Leave them north Carolina alone
North Carolina I did go
There I met a fair, young maiden
And her name, I did not know
Cheeks were roses red
Oh, her breast she wore my clear leaf
Where I longer to lay my head
I don't want your watch and chain
All I want is your heart, darling
Say you'll take ma back again
And I have no wings to fly
I'll escape, my blue-eyed, boat land
Float or roll me over time
North Carolina ain't my home
I'll go back to East Virginia
Leave them north Carolina alone
