Carry me back to Old Virginny lyrics

(REF:)

Carry me back to old Virginny,

There's where the cotton

And the corn and tatoes grow,

There's where the birds warble

Sweet in the springtime,

There's where the old darke'ys

Heart am long'd to go,

There's where I labored

So hard for old massa,

Day after day

In the field of yellow corn,

No place on earth

Do I love more sincerely

Than old Virginny,

The state where I was born.

(REF:)

Carry me back to old Virginny,

There's where the cotton

And the corn and tatoes grow,

There's where the birds warble

Sweet in the springtime,

There's where this old darkey's

Heart am long'd 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 wandered,

There's where this old darke'ys

Life will pass away.

Massa and missis have

Long gone before me,

Soon we will 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.
