I Was Born In East Virginia Lyrics

The Monkees

I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina, I did roam
There I met a sweet young maiden
Her name and age, I do not know

Her hair it was a light brown color
And her cheeks were ruby red
On her breast she wore white lillies
There I longed to lay my head

I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun refuse to shine
Than to see her with another
And to know she'd never be mine

I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina, I did roam
There I met a sweet young maiden
Her name and age, I do not know
Her name and age, I do not know
