East Virginia - The Tallest Man On Earth, YMusic

I was born in east Virginia

North Carolina I did roam

And there I met a fair young maiden

Her name and age I do not know, oh

Her hair was so dark and curly

And her cheeks were rosy red

On her breast she wore white lilies

There I longed my head to rest, oh

I’d rather be in some dark holler

Where the sun refused to shine

Than to see you with another

And to know you’ll never be mine, oh
