The Carter Family – East Virginia Blues N 1 (Guitar)

       C
I was born in East Virginia

             F           C
To North Carolina I did go

          F                 C
There I spied a fair young lady

         G
And her age

            C
I did not know

     C
Her hair was dark in color

      F               C
Her cheeks were rosy red

           F                     C
Upon her breast she wore white lilies

           G
Where I longed

           C
To lay my head

          C
Oh, at my heart you are my darlin'

       F                   C
At my door you're welcome in

       F                C
At my gate I'll always meet you

               G
For you're the girl

            C
I tried to win

           C
I'd rather be in some dark holler

          F              C
Where the sun refuse to shine

          F                      C
Than for you to be another man's darlin'

       G
And to know

                 C
You'll never be mine
