1
I was born in East Virginia
2
North Carolina I did go
3
There I courted a fair young maiden
4
But her age I did not know
5
Oh her hair was dark and curly
6
And her cheeks were rosy red
7
On her breast she wore a lilly
8
Where I longed to lay my head
9
Molly dear, go ask your mother
10
If you my bride might ever be
11
If she says no, come back and tell me
12
And I'll run away with thee
13
No I'll not go ask my mother
14
Where she lies on her bed of rest
15
In her hand she holds a dagger
16
To kill the man that I love best
17
The ocean's deep and I can't wade it
18
And I have no wings to fly
19
I'll just get some blue-eyed boatman
20
For to row me o'er the tide
21
I'll go back to East Virginia
22
North Carolina ain't my home
23
I'll go back to East Virginia
24
Leave old North Carolina alone
25
I don't want your green back dollar
26
I don't want your watch and chain
27
All I want is you my darling
28
Say you'll take me back again
29
For you know I'd like to see you
30
At my door you're welcome in
31
At my gate I'll always greet you
32
For you're the girl I tried to win
