ramblin' jack elliott - east virginia blues lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was born in east virginia
north carolina i did go
there i met the fairest maiden
her name and age i did not know

[chorus]
i don’t want the greenback dollar
i don’t want the big silver chain
all i want is your love darling
won’t you please come back again

[verse 2]
last night i seen you walking
with another by your side
and i thought i heard you tell him
that soon you’d be his bride

[chorus]

[verse 3]
well her hair was dark in color
and her cheeks were rosy red
on her breast she wore a white lily
where i longed to lay my head

[chorus]

[outro]
i rather be in some dark hollow
where the sun refused to shine
than to see you with another
when you promised to be mine
