  • Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Verse 1:
       C
Once I lived in old Virginia
      Bb              C
North Carolina was my home
        F                  C
There I courted a handsome lady
      Bb F          C
Oh, I called her my own

Verse 2:
             C
Her hair was yellow and her eyes were sparkling
           Bb                C
And on her cheeks was a rosy red
           F                     C
And on her breast she wore white lilies
        Bb F         C
Oh, the tears I have shed

Verse 3:
          C
My father said that I must not marry
          Bb                   C
My mother said, "That'll never do"
              F                C
But, oh, kind miss, if you are willing
      Bb F                C
Oh, I would run away with you

Verse 4:
                C
'Cause when I'm awake, I'm a-dreaming about you
         Bb                  C
When I'm asleep I'll take no rest
            F                 C
Cause every moment seems like hours
        Bb F            C
Oh, the pain lies in my breast

Verse 5:
           C
Oh, must I go to Old Virginia
        Bb               C
All for your sake must I die
       F               C
Must I go, sad, broken-hearted
       Bb F              C
Oh and darlin' say don't cry

Verse 6:
          C
When that golden sun is shining
       Bb          C
On the top of calvary
               F                  C
It's sometimes lower that you are thinking
         Bb  F              C
You must oft-times think of me
