[Intro] Am Dm G Am G Am [Verse 1]
Am                Dm     G
I was born in east   Virginia

          Am   G     Am
North Caroline I did roam

    G       Am         Dm       G
And there I met a fair   young maiden

             Am     G       Am
Her name and age, I did not know
A7 Aadd6 F#7/A Am {Verse 2]
G   Am                  Dm      G
Her hair, it was so dark   and curly

        Am          G    Am
And her cheeks were rosy red

G      Am             Dm        G
On her breast she wore   white lilies

        Am        G       Am
There I longed my head to rest
A7 Aadd6 F#7/A Am [Verse 3]
    G      Am             Dm  G
I'd rather be in some dark   holler

          Am     G       Am
Where the sun refused to shine

G       Am           Dm   G
Then to see you with     another

       Am          G        Am
And to know you'll never be mine
[Outro] A7 Aadd6 F#7/A Am A7 Aadd6 F#7/A Am
