East Virginia Blues

I was born in East Virginia

To North Carolina did I go

And there I met, there I met a fair young lady

But her name I did not know

I don't want no greenback dollar

I don't want no silver chain

All I want, all I want is your love, darling

Won't you take me back again?

Her hair was dark in color

And her cheeks were rosy red

At her breast, at her breast she wore white lilies

Where I long to lay my head

I don't want no greenback dollar

I don't want no silver chain

All I want, all I want is your love, darling

Won't you take me back again?

I'd rather be in some dark holler

Where the sun refuse to shine

Than to find you with another

When you promised to be mine

I don't want no greenback dollar

I don't want no silver chain

All I want, all I want is your love, darling

Won't you take me back again?

Won't you take me back again?

Won't you take me back again?

Won't you take me back again?
