Tom: E
Em A Em
I was born in old Virginny
B A Em
To North Carolina I did go;
E A
I fell in love with a pretty fair maiden
E B Em
And her name I did not know
Em A Em
Her hair was of some brightsome color
B A Em
Her cheeks were of a rosy red
E A
And in my heart I loved her dearly
E B Em
Many a tear for her I shed
Em A Em
To my heart you are my darling
B A Em
At my door you're welcome in;
E A
At my gate I'll meet you my darling
E B Em
Oh, if your love I could only win
Em A Em
When I am asleep I'm a-dreaming about you
B A Em
When I'm awake I find no rest
E A
And every moment seems like an hour
E B Em
With aching pains all across my breast
Em A Em
I'd rather be in some dark valley
B A Em
Where that sun don't never shine
E A
Than to see you another man's darling
E B Em
When I know that you should be mine
Em A Em
When I am dead and in my coffin
B A Em
And my feet's towards the sun
E A
Come and sit beside me darling
E B Em
Come and think on the way you done
