Lyrics for Carry Me Back To Old Virginny
Carry me back yeah to old Virginny That's where the cotton and corn and taters grow That's where the birds yeah warble sweet in the spring-time That's where this heart of mine, yeah longs to go I'm not afraid, come on and carry me back to old Virginny There let me live till I wither and decay Long by the old Dismal Swamp have I wandered That's where this life of mine will pass away Well let me tell you, mother and father have gone before me And I know, soon we will meet on that bright and golden shore Uhmm we will be happy and free from all sorrow And there we'll meet, and part no more
