I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina I did roam
There I met a fair young maiden
Her name and age I did not know
Well her hair was dark and curly
And her cheeks were rosy red
On her breast she wore white linen
Where I long to lay my head
I don’t want your greenback dollar
I don’t want your watch and chain
All I want is to see my darlin’
And be in her arms again
