i I was borned and raised in east Virginia, North Ca'lina I did go. There I courted some pretty little woman, Of her age I do not know.
2 Well, her eyes of a dark brown color, Oh, her cheeks of a rosy red j On her breast were square white lilies To show the tears that she had shed. |

3 On her feet she wears little slippers, On her hair she wears a bow 5
Oh, the way I love that brown-eyed darling, Nobody on earth shall never know.
4 For when I'm asleep Pm dreaming of you, When Pm awake I see no rest; Moments seem to me like hours,
With ache and pain all through my breast.
5 Pve got a wife and two little babies, All at home, they're all at home.
Oh, the section boss paid me forty-two dollars, All in gold, sir, all in gold.
