歌词
I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina, I did go
There I met a fair young maiden
And her name I did not know
Oh, her hair was dark and curly
And her cheeks, a rosy red
On her breast, she wore white lilies
Where I longed to lay my head
I don't want your greenback dollar
I don't want your watch and chain
All I want is your heart, darling
Say you'll take me back again
Ocean's deep and I can't wait it
And I have no way to fly
I'll just get me a blue-eyed woman
For to run me over the tide (lookout)
I'll go back to East Virginia
North Carolina ain't my home
I'll go back to East Virginia
Leavin' North Carolinians alone
