East Virginia From Wandering Ramblers on Marimac 9033
Chorus:
I was born, in East Virginia,
North Carolina, I did go
There I met, the fairest maiden,
Her name and age, I did not know
Her hair, was dark and curly,
And her cheeks, were rosy red
On her breast, she wore a lily,
Where I longed, to lay my head
Chorus
Go quick, and ask your mama,
Bride of mine, you’ll ever be
If she says no, come back and tell me,
And I will wait , till you get free
Chorus and Instrumental Break
At my gate I long to see you,
At my door you’re welcome in
You are the girl I long to marry,
You are the girl I long to win
Chorus
I’ll go back from East Virginia
North Carolina, ain’t my home
I’ll go back, all broken hearted
And leave old North Carolina alone.
Chorus
Eyes of Texas The Key G.
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the livelong day.
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Do not think you can escape them,
From night till early in the morn.
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
Till Gabriel blows his horn.
