Old Virginia - Crooked Still

Crooked Still - Old Virginia
´Once I lived in old Virginia
North Carolina was my home
There I courted a handsome lady
Oh I call-ed her my own
Her hair was yellow
And her eyes were sparkling
And on her cheeks was a rosy red
On her breast she wore 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
When I’m awake
Imma dreaming about you
When I’m asleep I’ll take no rest
Cause every moment seems like hours
Oh the 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
When that golden sun is shining
On the top of cavalry
It sometimes lower than you are thinking
You must oft-times think of me
