Verse 1:
C majorC             C7C7
I was born in East Virginia
   FF        C majorC
North Carolina, I did roam
    FF        G+G G#G# A minorAm
There I met a fair young maiden
       DmDm G+G     C majorC
Her name and age, I do not know


Verse 2:
C majorC                  C7C7
Her hair it was of a light brown color
      FF      C majorC
Cheeks they were a ruby red
    FF           G+G G#G# A minorAm
On her breast she wore white lillies
    DmDm  G+G     C majorC
There I longed to lay my head

Verse 3:
C majorC                C7C7
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
     FF       C majorC
Where the sun refuse to shine
    FF      G+G G7G7 A minorAm
Than to see her with another
    DmDm G+G        C majorC
And to know you'd never be mine

Verse 4:
C majorC             C7C7
I was born in East Virginia
   FF        C majorC
North Carolina, I did roam
    FF        G+G G#G# A minorAm
There I met a fair young maiden
       DmDm G+G     C majorC
Her name and age, I do not know
       DmDm G+G     C majorC
Her name and age, I do not know
