[Intro]
Am Dm G
Am G Am
[Verse 1]
Am Dm G
I was born in east Virginia
Am G Am
North Caroline I did roam
G Am Dm G
And there I met a fair young maiden
Am G Am
Her name and age, I did not know
A7 Aadd6 F#7/A Am
{Verse 2]
G Am Dm G
Her hair, it was so dark and curly
Am G Am
And her cheeks were rosy red
G Am Dm G
On her breast she wore white lilies
Am G Am
There I longed my head to rest
A7 Aadd6 F#7/A Am
[Verse 3]
G Am Dm G
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Am G Am
Where the sun refused to shine
G Am Dm G
Then to see you with another
Am G Am
And to know you'll never be mine
