Píseň: East Virginia
I was born in East Virginia North Carolina I did roam There I met a fair pretty maiden Her name and age I do not know Her hair it was of a brightsome color And her lips of ruby red On her breast she wore white lilies There I longed to lay my head Well, in my heart you are my darlin' At my door you are welcome in At my gate I'll meet you, my darlin' If your love I could only win I'd rather be in some dark holler Where the sun refused to shine Than to see you be another man's darlin' And to know that you'll never be mine Well, in the night I'm dreaming about you In the day I find no rest Just the thought of you, my darlin' Sends aching pain all through my breast Well, when I'm dead and in my coffin With my feet turned towards the sun Come and sit beside me, darlin' Come and think of the way you've done
Joan Baez (1960)
