East Virgninia - The Brothers Four

Do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do.

I was born in east Virginia

North Carolina I did go There I loved a fair young maiden

Whose age and name I did not know.

Oh, her hair was dark and curly

And her cheeks were rosey red

On her breast she wore a liliy

Where I longed to lay my head.

I don’t want those greenback dollars

I don’t want no golden chain

In this world there is no treasure

That can bring her back, again.

Take me to that borrowed fortune

And carve my name upon a stone

Tell the world how much I love her

And how I died for love alone.

I was born in east Virginia

North Carolina I did go There I loved a fair young maiden

Whose age and name I did not know.

Do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do…
