George Hamilton IV — East Virginia lyrics

Lyrics

I was born in East Virginia North Carolina I did go There I met the fairest maiden her name and age I did not know
Her hair it was a light brown color her lips they were red ruby’s red
On her breast she wore white lilie there I longed to lay my head
I was born in East Virginia…
I’d rather be in some dark holler where the sun don’t never shine
Than to know she loved another and to know she’d never be mine
I was born in East Virginia…
Her name and age I did not know
