East Virginia - David Bromberg

I was born in East Virginia

North Carolina, I did go

There I met a fair young maiden

Her name and age I do not know

On her feet she wore these slippers

And in her hair she wore a bow

How I loved that brown eyed darling

No one in this world could know

Her hair it was a light brown color

Lips they were ruby red

And on her breast she wore white lilies

Where I long to lay my head

I know your parents don’t scarcely like me

I guess your friends all feel the same

And if I’d weitten adown in your book of love

Won’t you please light out my name

I was born in East Virginia

And North Carolina I did go

And there I met a fine young maiden

Her name and age I still don’t know
