| I was born in east Virginia | |
| North Carolina I did roam | |
| There I met a pretty fair maiden | |
| Her name and age I do not know | |
| Her hair it was of a brightsome color | |
| And her lips of a ruby red | |
| On her breast she wore white lilies | |
| There I longed to lay my head | |
| I will dance, I will sing and my laugh shall be gay | |
| I will charm every heart, in his crown I will sway | |
| I woke from my dream and all idols was clay | |
| And all portions of love then had all flown away | |
| Well in my heart you are my darling | |
| And at my door you're welcome in | |
| At my gate I'll meet you my darling | |
| If your love I could only win | |
| I'd rather be in some dark holler | |
| Where the sun refused to shine | |
| Than to see you another man's darling | |
| And to know that you'll never be mine hour | |
| Well in the night I'm dreaming about you | |
| In the day I find no rest | |
| Just the thought of you my darling | |
| Sends aching pains all through my breast | |
| Well when I'm dead and in my coffin | |
| With my feet turned toward the sun | |
| Come and sit beside me darling | |
| Come and think on the way you done |
