I Was Born In East Virginia
The Monkees
[Verse 1] I was born in East Virginia North Carolina I did roam There I met a fair young maiden Her name and age I do not know [Verse 2] Her hair it was of a light brown color Cheeks they were a ruby red On her breast she wore white lillies There I longed to lay my head [Verse 3] I’d rather be in some dark hollow Where the sun refuse to shine Than to see her with another And to know you’d never be mine [Verse 4] I was born in East Virginia North Carolina I did roam There I met a fair young maiden Her name and age I do not know Her name and age I do not know
