East Virginia (Traditional)
Damien Jurado

I was born and raised in East Virginia

North Carolina, I did go

There I met a pretty young maiden

Her name and age I do not know


Her hair, it was of a light brown color

Lips they were a ruby red

And on her breast she wore white lilies

Where I long to lay my head


I'd rather be in some dark hollow


Where the sun won't ever shine

Than to see you wed another

Girl, you know, you'd never be mine


I was born and raised in East Virginia

North Carolina, I did go

There I met a pretty young maiden

Her name and age I do not know
