Old Virginny

(início)

      Em      A      Em
I was born in old Virginny
             B A        Em
To North Carolina I did go;
          E                       A
I fell in love with a pretty fair maiden
        E B            Em
And her name I did not know
             Em      A          Em
Her hair was of some brightsome color
                B A       Em
Her cheeks were of a rosy red
          E                 A
And in my heart I loved her dearly
       E B            Em
Many a tear for her I shed
      Em        A      Em
To my heart you are my darling
      B A                 Em
At my door you're welcome in;
      E                     A
At my gate I'll meet you my darling
            E B               Em
Oh, if your love I could only win
          Em           A         Em
When I am asleep I'm a-dreaming about you
         B A             Em
When I'm awake I find no rest
          E                    A
And every moment seems like an hour
            E B                 Em
With aching pains all across my breast
           Em    A         Em
I'd rather be in some dark valley
           B A             Em
Where that sun don't never shine
            E                 A
Than to see you another man's darling
       E B                     Em
When I know that you should be mine
          Em       A     Em
When I am dead and in my coffin
       B A                Em
And my feet's towards the sun
         E             A
Come and sit beside me darling
         E B                  Em
Come and think on the way you done
