Simplified

Key: E major

Intro 1

Verse 1

I was born in East Virginia

North Carolina I did go

There I courted a fair young maiden

But her age I did not know

Verse 2

Oh her hair was dark and curly

And her cheeks were rosy red

On her breast she wore a lilly

Where I longed to lay my head

Verse 3

Molly dear, go ask your mother

If you my bride might ever be

If she says no, come back and tell me

And I'll run away with thee

Verse 4

No I'll not go ask my mother Where she lies on

her bed of rest

In her hand she holds a dagger

To kill the man that I love best

For to row me o'er the tide

Verse 6

I'll go back to East Virginia

North Carolina ain't my home

I'll go back to East Virginia

Leave old North Carolina alone

Verse 7

I don't want your green back dollar

I don't want your watch and chain

All I want is you my darling

Say you'll take me back again
