Carry Me Back to Old Virginny G

Carry me back to old Virginny
There's where the cotton and corn and taters grow
There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime
There's where this old dreamer's heart longs to go

There's where I labor'd so hard for my loved ones
Day after day in the field of yeller corn
No place on earth do I love more sincerely
Than old Virginny the State where I was born

Carry me back to old Virginny
There's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow
There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime
There's where this old farm boy's heart longs to go

---

Carry me back to old Virginny
There let me live 'till I wither and decay
Long by the old Dismal Swamp have I wander'd
There's where this old dreamer's life will pass away

Mama and Papa have long gone before me
Soon will we meet on that bright and golden shore
There we'll be happy and free from all sorrow
There's where we'll meet and we'll never part no more
