[00:07.62]I was born in east Virginia
[00:15.54]North Carolina I did roam
[00:23.25]There I met a fair pretty maiden
[00:30.69]Her name and age
[00:34.24]I do not know
[00:42.09]Her hair it was of a brightsome color
[00:50.20]And her lips of a ruby red
[00:57.74]On her breast she wore white lilies
[01:05.67]There I longed to lay my head
[01:16.04]Well in my heart you are my dar
[01:24.26]At my door you're welcome in
[01:31.54]At my gate I'll meet you my darling
[01:39.12]If your love
[01:42.42]I could only win
[01:52.00]I'd rather be in some dark holler
[02:00.99]Where the sun refused to shine
[02:08.10]Than to see you be another man's darling
[02:15.53]And to know that you'll never be mine
[02:29.84]Well in the night I'm dreaming about you
[02:37.28]In the day I find no rest
[02:44.45]Just the thought of you my darling
[02:51.11]Sends aching pains all through my breast
[03:02.53]Well when I'm dead and in my coffin
[03:11.19]With my feet turned toward the sun
[03:18.61]Come and sit beside me darling
[03:25.86]Come and think on the way you done
