[verse 1] Bm E Bm I was born in East Virginia, Em Bm North Carolina I did roam. B B7 E There I met a fair pretty maiden; Bm F#7 Bm Her name and age I do not know. [verse 2] Bm E Bm Her hair it was of a brightsome color Em Bm And her lips of ruby red. B B7 E On her breast she wore white lilies; Bm F#7 Bm There I longed to lay my head. [verse 3] Bm E Bm Well, in my heart you are my darlin', Em Bm At my door you are welcome in. B B7 E At my gate I'll meet you, my darlin'; Bm F#7 Bm If your love I could only win. [verse 4] Bm E Bm I'd rather be in some dark holler Em Bm Where the sun refused to shine B B7 E Than to see you be another man's darlin Bm F#7 Bm And to know that you'll never be mine. [verse 5] Bm E Bm Well, in the night I'm dreaming about you, Em Bm In the day I find no rest. B B7 E Just the thought of you, my darlin', Bm F#7 Bm Sends aching pains all through my breast. [verse 6] Bm E Bm Well, when I'm dead and in my coffin Em Bm With my feet turned toward the sun B B7 E Come and sit beside me, darlin', Bm F#7 Bm Come and think on the way you done. B ≠ 30.8 Hz
