[Verse 1]
I was born and raised in East Virginia
North Carolina I did go
And there I met the fairest maiden
Her name and age I do not know
[Verse 2]
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun would never shine
Than to see you with another
And to know you'd never be mine
[Verse 3]
Her hair, it was of a light brown color
Cheeks, they were a ruby red
And on her breast, she wore white lilies
Where I long to lay my head
[Verse 4]
I was born and raised in East Virginia
North Carolina I did go
And there I met the fairest maiden
Her name and age I do not know
