I was born in East Virginia
I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina I did roam
North Carolina I did roam
There I met a fair, pretty maiden
There I met a fair, pretty maiden
Her name and age I do not know
Her name and age I do not know
Her hair, it was of a brightsome color
Her hair, it was of a brightsome color
And her lips of ruby red
And her lips of ruby red
On her breast she wore withe lilies
On her breast she wore withe lilies
There I long to lay my head
There I long to lay my head
Well, in my heart you are, my darlin'
Well, in my heart you are, my darlin'
At my door you're welcome in
At my door you're welcome in
At my gate I'll meet you, my darlin'
At my gate I'll meet you, my darlin'
If your love I could only win
If your love I could only win
I'd rather be in some dark holler
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun refuse to shine
Where the sun refuse to shine
Than to see you be another man's darlin'
Than to see you be another man's darlin'
And to know that you'll never be mine
And to know that you'll never be mine
Well, in the night I'm dreamin' about you
Well, in the night I'm dreamin' about you
In the day I find no rest
In the day I find no rest
Just the thought of you, my darlin'
Just the thought of you, my darlin'
Sends aching pains all through my breast
Sends aching pains all through my breast
Well, when I'm dead and in my coffin
Well, when I'm dead and in my coffin
With my feet turned toward the sun
With my feet turned toward the sun
Come and sit beside me, darlin'
Come and sit beside me, darlin'
Come and think on way you done
Come and think on way you done
East Virginia
Sono nato nell'East Virginia
ho vagato in North Carolina
Lì ho incontrato una bella, graziosa fanciulla
Non so Il suo nome e la sua età
I suoi capelli, erano di un colore brillante
E le sue labbra rosso rubino
Sul petto portava gigli bianchi
Lì desideravo posare la mia testa
Ebbene, nel mio cuore ci sei, mia cara
Alla mia porta sei la benvenuta
Al mio cancello ti incontrerò, mia cara
Se potessi solo vincere il tuo amore
Preferirei essere in qualche buco scuro
Dove il sole si rifiuta di splendere
Che vederti essere il tesoro di un altro uomo
E sapere che non sarai mai mia
Ebbene, di notte ti sogno
Di giorno non trovo riposo
Il solo il pensiero di te, mia cara
Invia pene dolorose in tutto il mio petto
Bene, quando sarò morto e nella mia bara
Con i piedi rivolti verso il sole
Vieni a sederti accanto a me, tesoro
Vieni a pensare a ciò che hai fatto
