VERSE 1:

    C majorC
I was born in East Virginia
       FF      C majorC
To North Carolina I did go
     FF         C majorC
There I spied a fair young lady
     G+G
And her age
      C majorC
I did not know


VERSE 2:

   C majorC
Her hair was dark in color
   FF        C majorC
Her cheeks were rosy red
      FF           C majorC
Upon her breast she wore white lilies
      G+G
Where I longed
      C majorC
To lay my head


VERSE 3:
     C majorC
Oh, at my heart you are my darlin'
    FF          C majorC
At my door you're welcome in
    FF        C majorC
At my gate I'll always meet you
        G+G
For you're the girl
      C majorC
I tried to win


VERSE 4:
      C majorC
I'd rather be in some dark holler
     FF       C majorC
Where the sun refuse to shine
     FF           C majorC
Than for you to be another man's darlin'
    G+G
And to know
         C majorC
You'll never be mine
