sam shackleton - east virginia blues lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh i was born in rainy sterling
to east virginia i did go
t’was there i met the fairest maiden
oh but her name i did not know

[verse 2]
her hair was dark and curly
oh, and her cheeks were rosy red
and on her breast she a thistle
well that’s the lass i loved the best

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
and in my heart you are my darlin’
and at my door you’re welcome in
and at my gate i’ll always meet you
if but your love oh i could win

[verse 4]
and in the night i’m dreaming of you
and in the day i find no rest
and just the simple thought of you
sends achin’ pains all through my chest
[instrumental break]

[verse 5]
i’d rather be in some dark holler
oh whеre the sun refusеd to shine
than for to see you as another man’s darlin’
and for to know you won’t be mine

[verse 6]
oh when i’m dead and in my coffin
and with my face towards the sun
come and look upon me, darling
and see the deed that you have done

[instrumental outro]
