East Virginia Lyrics

I was born and raised in East Virginia North Carolina I did go There I met a pretty young maiden Her name and age I do not know Her hair it was of a light brown color Lips they were a ruby red And on her breast she wore white lilies Where I long to lay my head I'd rather be in some dark hollow Where the sun won't ever shine Than to see you wed another Girl you know you'd never be mine I was born and raised in East Virginia North Carolina I did go There I met a pretty young maiden Her name and age I do not know
