Louis Armstrong - Carry Me Back to Old Virginny lyrics

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 ma**a 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 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 pa** away Ma**a 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
