[Verse 1]
C                          C7
I was born in East Virginia

      F               C
North Carolina, I did roam

        F                G G# Am
There I met a fair young maiden

             Dm  G         C
Her name and age, I do not know
[Verse 2]
C                                    C7
Her hair it was of a light brown color

            F           C
Cheeks they were a ruby red

       F                     G G# Am
On her breast she wore white lillies

        Dm    G          C
There I longed to lay my head
[Verse 3]
C                                C7
I'd rather be in some dark hollow

          F             C
Where the sun refuse to shine

        F            G G7 Am
Than to see her with another

       Dm  G               C
And to know you'd never be mine
[Verse 4]
C                          C7
I was born in East Virginia

      F               C
North Carolina, I did roam

        F                G G# Am
There I met a fair young maiden

             Dm  G         C
Her name and age, I do not know

             Dm  G         C
Her name and age, I do not know
