I was born [E] in East [B] Virginia, North [Em] Carolina, I did [Bm] roam.
There [B] I met a [E] fair pretty maiden, Her name and [F#] age I do [Bm] not know.
Her hair it [E] was of a bright [Bm] sun color, And [Em] her lips of a ruby [Bm] red.
[B] On her breast she wore white [E]
lilies, There [B] I [F#] longed to [B] lay my head.
[Bm]
Well in my [E] heart you are [B] my darling, [Em] At my door you're welcoming.
[Bm]
At [B] my door [B] [E] you're welcoming, At my door you're welcoming.
[F#] I'd [B] rather
[Bm] be [E] in some [Bm] dark corner, [Em] Where the sun refused to [Bm] shine,
Than [B] to see you be another man's darling, [E] And to know [Bm] [F#] that you'll never [B] be.
[Bm]
Well in the [E] night,
[B] in [Em] the day, I [B] find no rest,
Just the thoughts [E]
and [B] aching pains, [F#] All [B] through my brain.
[Bm] Well when I'm dead, [E] [B]
[Bm] with my [Em] feet, I turn [B] toward the sun,
[Bm] Come [B] and sit beside me darling, [E]
Come [B] and think [F#] on the [B] way you done.
[Bm]
