(D major)
(C major) (D major)
Verse 1
I was (D major) born in East Vir (C major) ginia
North Carolina (D major) I did go
There I courted a fair young (C major) maiden
But her (D major) age I did not know
Verse 2
Oh her (D major) hair was dark and curly
And her (G major) cheeks were rosy red (D major)
On her (G major) breast she wore a (D major) lilly
Where I (A major) longed to lay my (D major) head
Verse 3
(D major) Molly dear, go ask your mother
If you my bride might ever (G major) be
If she says no, come back and (D major) tell me
And I'll run away (G major) with thee
Verse 4
No I'll not go ask my mother Where she lies on (D major)
her bed of (A major) rest
In her (D major) hand she holds a dagger
To kill the man that I love best
Verse 5
The ocean's (G major) deep and I can't wade it
And I have (D major) no wings to fly
I'll just get some blue-eyed boatman
boat (G major) man
For to row me o'er the tide
Verse 6
I'll (D major) go back to East Virginia
North Car (A major) olina ain't (D major) my home
I'll go back to East Vir (C major) ginia
Leave old North Car (D major) olina alone

I don't (D major) want your green back dollar
I don't want your watch and chain
All I want (C major) is you my darling
Say you'll (D major) take me back again
Verse 8
For you (D major) know I'd like to see you (C major)
At my door (D major) you're welcome in
At my gate I'll always
greet you
For you're the girl I tried to win
