Carry Me Back to Old Virginny G
Carry me back to old Virginny
There's where the cotton
and corn and taters grow
There's where the birds warble
sweet in the springtime
There's where this old dreamer's
heart longs to go
There's where I labor'd
so hard for my loved ones
Day after day
in the field of yeller corn
No place on earth
do I love more sincerely
Than old Virginny
the State where I was born
Carry me back to old Virginny
There's where the cotton
and the corn and taters grow
There's where the birds warble
sweet in the springtime
There's where this old
farm boy's heart longs to go
|
Carry me back to old Virginny
There let me live
'till I wither and decay
Long by the old Dismal Swamp
have I wander'd
There's where this old dreamer's
life will pass away
Mama and Papa have long gone before me
Soon will we meet
on that bright and golden shore
There we'll be happy
and free from all sorrow
There's where we'll meet
and we'll never part no more
