I was born in East Virginia,
C G
North Carolina I did go
C G
There I met a fair young maiden
D G
Her name and age, I do not know.
G G7
On her feet she wore these slippers,
C G
and in her hair she wore a bow
C G
How I loved that brown eyed darling,
D G
No one in this world could know
G G7
Her hair it was a light brown color,
C G
Lips they were ruby red
C G
And on her breast she wore white lilies,
D G
Where I long to lay my head
G G7
I know your parents don't scarcely like me,
C G
I guess your friends all feel the same
C G
And if I&rsquo m writ down in your book babe,
D G
won&rsquo t you please strike out my name
