Dark Holler Lyrics by Amythyst Kiah

Dig

2013

Well, I was born in old Virginia
South Carolina I did go
And there I courted a pretty women
But her age I did not know
Well her hair was brown and curly
And her cheeks were rosy red
And on her breast she wore white lilies
Oh, the tears I have shed
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun never shines
Than for you to be another man's darling
When you ain't no longer mine
And when I'm asleep I'm dreaming about you
And when I wakе I have no rest
And evеry moment seems like an hour
Oh the pain rolls through my breast
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun never shines
Than for you to be another man's darling
When you ain't no longer mine
Papa says I must not marry
But Mama says it'll never do
But little girl, if you are willing
I will run away with you
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun never shines
Than for you to be some other man's darling
When you ain't no longer mine
Well, I was born in old Virginia
South Carolina I did go
