Once I lived in old Virginia North Carolina was my home There I courted a handsome lady Oh I called her my own
Her hair was yellow And her eyes were sparkling And on her cheeks was a rosy red And on her breast she wore white lilies Oh the tears I have shed
My father said that I must not marry My mother said, "That'll never do" But, oh, kind miss, if you are willing Oh, I would run away with you
'Cause when I'm awake I'm dreaming about you When I'm asleep I'll take no rest Cause every moment seems like hours Oh, and a pain lies in my breast
Oh, must I go to Old Virginia All for your sake must I die Must I go, sad, broken-hearted Oh and darlin' say don't cry
