Pete Seeger - East Virginia Blues lyrics

I was born and raised in East Virginia North Carolina I did go And there I met the fariest maiden Her name and age I do not know Well, her hair it was of a light-brown color Cheeks they were a ruby red And on her breast she wore white lilies Where I longed to lay my head Well, I'd rather be in some dark hollow Where the sun would never shine Than to see you with another And to know you'd never be mine (Repeat first verse)
