A A
I was born in East Virginia
D A
North Carolina I did go
D A
There I met a pretty maiden
E A
Her age and name I did not know

A A
Well, I don't want your greenback dollar
D A
And I don't want your watch and chain
D A
All I want is your heart, darling
E A
Won't you take me back again

A A
Her hair was long and dark of color
D A
And her cheeks were rosy red
D A
On her breast she wore white linnen
E A
That's where I long to lay my head

A A
Honey, I don't want your greenback dollar
D A
And I don't want your watch and chain
D A
All I want is your heart, darling
E A A
Won't you take me back again

A A
Baby, last night I saw you walking
D A
With another by your side
D A
And I thought I heard you tell him
E A
That you soon would be his bride

A A
And I'd rather be in some dark hollow
D A
Where the sun don't ever shine
D A
Than to see you with another
E A
And to know you won't be mine

A A
And I don't want your greenback dollar
D A
Hey, I don't want your watch and chain
D A
All I want is your heart, darling
E A
Won't you take me back again
E A
Hey, won't you take me back again
