East Virginia Blues (with Earl Scruggs) [Mono]
I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina I did roam
There I met the fairest maiden
Name and age I did not know
Her hair it was of the darkest color
Cheeks they were all ruby red
On her breast she wore white lilies
There I longed to lay my head
I'd rather be on some dark holler
Where the sun don't ever shine
And to see you love another
And to know you'll never be mine
I don't want your green back dollar
I don't want your diamond ring
All I want is your love darling
Won't you take me back again
Won't you take me back again
North Carolina I did roam
There I met the fairest maiden
Name and age I did not know
Her hair it was of the darkest color
Cheeks they were all ruby red
On her breast she wore white lilies
There I longed to lay my head
I'd rather be on some dark holler
Where the sun don't ever shine
And to see you love another
And to know you'll never be mine
I don't want your green back dollar
I don't want your diamond ring
All I want is your love darling
Won't you take me back again
Won't you take me back again
