Sandy Denny - East Virginia Lyrics
I was born in east virginia,North carolina I did go.There I met the fairest maidenBut her name I do not know.Her hair it was a brightsome colorAnd her cheeks were rosy red.On her breast she wore white lilies,All the tears that I have shed.In my heart you are my darling,At my door youre welcome in.At my gate Ill always meet youIf your love I could only win.In the night Im dreaming of you,In the day I find no rest.Just the thought of you, my darling,Sends aching pains all through my breast.Id rather be in some dark hollerWhere the sun refused to shineThan to see you with another one, darling,To know you never will be mine.Oh, when Im dead and in my coffinWith my face towards the sun,Come and look upon me, darlingSee the deed that you have done.
