Carry me back to Old Virginny lyrics
Carry me back to Old Virginny lyrics
(REF:)
Carry me back to old Virginny,
There's where the cotton
And the corn and tatoes grow,
There's where the birds warble
Sweet in the springtime,
There's where the old darke'ys
Heart am long'd to go,
There's where I labored
So hard for old massa,
Day after day
In the field of yellow corn,
No place on earth
Do I love more sincerely
Than old Virginny,
The state where I was born.
(REF:)
Carry me back to old Virginny,
There's where the cotton
And the corn and tatoes grow,
There's where the birds warble
Sweet in the springtime,
There's where this old darkey's
Heart am long'd to go.
Carry me back to old Virginny,
There let me live
'Till I wither and decay,
Long by the old Dismal
Swamp have I wandered,
There's where this old darke'ys
Life will pass away.
Massa and missis have
Long gone before me,
Soon we will meet on that
Bright and golden shore,
There we'll be happy
And free from all sorrow,
There's where we'll meet
And we'll never part no more.
